4/1/23
Blasting wind on the Shropshire hills
squelching down beside the narrow wooded Lydehole Dingle
looking northwards over Cove Dale to Wenlock Edge and
further hills to north and further west,
gaunt January skyline trees
light clouds, clear views
blue and sun increasing
glinting on the waterlogged mulch and grass
inquisitive sheep,
loop around and up the slope again
stop to look back
earth so soft at edge of new crops –
lovely time, very muddy boots.

It's always nice to capture these moments in a poem, and you've charmed me with yet another of your rambles. Nicely done Rhiannon.

A highly visual and evocative, January hike. Felt like I was right there. Enjoyed, of course. Paul [Should that say "light clouds"?]

Beautiful views across to the hills Rhiannon - and I like the way you've included the muddy boot pic! Thank you for another lovely walk

I liked the "muddy boots" bit, too :0) Bringing back down to Earth! What views you see! Thankyou for sharing them

smiley ! The boots got well 'down' into the soft soft 'earth' in that one field especially!

Glad you enjoyed our views, Di. Thanks. Rhiannon

Thank you, Tom. A different experience from your present summer weather presumably! Rhiannon
