I remember I had a Hanimex projector and used to bore people to death showing hiking trips and holidays.

Does your positive test mean that you have had it but didn't know or are the antibodies there as a result of the Jab. I presume that you are feeling well?AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-13537907044494659822021-04-14T09:23:22.997+01:002021-04-14T09:23:22.997+01:00Actually, we've plenty to do at home, and look...Actually, we've plenty to do at home, and looking forward to a Welsh trip in May.

We can get further a field now but staying overnight in a campervan or tent is still not allowed until May. Lots of abuse happening though. The silliest for me is that organised walking clubs are allowed 30 people but "friends" only 6. Why does the word organised make the slightest difference to how the virus spreads. Also what difference would it make for a solo backpacker to camp out on the hills. I think the guidlines are far too rigid.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-4556882407432182032021-04-12T09:38:53.470+01:002021-04-12T09:38:53.470+01:00Not seen any snow here in Arnside except for the o...Not seen any snow here in Arnside except for the odd flake drifting in the wind.

It was a lovely day. Yes, you may well be right with Blackthorn. I didn't check it out. I am no expert when it comes to identifying plant life so i appreciate you letting me know. In fact the Hawthorn in my garden hasn't flowered yet. I will change the description. Many thanks.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-72876147017799048092021-04-11T19:27:59.277+01:002021-04-11T19:27:59.277+01:00Nice walk.

Amazing that ...Nice walk. It's good to get out.<br />Amazing that you had snow overnight, over in Bowland we had none, it was wall-to-wall sunshine all day. I could see the West Pennines were plastered with the white stuff.<br />Is that white blossom Blackthorn rather than Hawthorn? Blackthorn flowers before the leaves appear, Hawthorn is green before the flowers appear. Sorry, I'm not trying to teach how to suck eggs.bowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.com
