Tweet I’ve just watched that video – the one that has, ironically, gone viral today, about how much we lose from our lives by being constantly attached to laptops, phones and tablets in the name of “social” media. And yes, blogging can be included in that too. We miss so much, and I am sure […]

A Day Out At Wray Castle

Rockpools
Tweet I found a new walk today, which made a nice change from my usual route, and some different views. This was one which I particularly like (although it did result in filthy knees).
