Duddon Valley
Today Louise, Connie, the dogs and I visited our old family favourite, the Duddon Valley. It was amazing how quickly the weather changed from the morning when it was teeming down with rain to brighten up into a glorious afternoon. This was a fitting walkabout for Dougal’s second birthday, what better place to be on a sunny Sunday afternoon? Happy Birthday Dougal!
