Well it's another lovely Saturday morning, so I thought I'd grab my video camera again and go for a walk. The sun tried desperately to come through the clouds and between downpours it managed to peek through...lol

Sufficed to say I went for a walk up a steep hill...across the moors (which is what I was told they were called, not hills..lol), said hello to the lambs and the sheep and promptly the skies opened up and I got drenched. I don't do the wet look, and I probably looked as uncomfortable as the sheep..:rofl:

But I recorded the sweeping views and then began the trek back, this time going down the other side of the 'hill' and coming out round by the canal again. Time taken - 90 minutes...lol

Hope you like it...and yes that is the wind blowing.. :rofl:

If you had seen the hill I had to climb with the wind in my face and pouring with rain just to get to that spot you would understand why I was out of breath lol. But it was definitely worth it :). I didn't realise you could hear my breathing too lol. When I played it back all I could hear was the wind.:rofl:

I feel that way every morning when I look out my window. This is my little slice of heaven and I am blessed to be able to be a part of it. :thumbsup:

I know how you feel and to think I actually was able to walk right past them without any fences between us. The lambs were watching me and I so wanted to cuddle one. Definitely wont be eating lamb ever again lol

Another fab video, aww the lambs were so cute baa baa baa!!!! You are going to be super fit in no time with all that walking and climbing!

Last time I was home I went for a trek around the fields with my Mum, I love walking in the UK but I just find it too hot here so I'm not as fit as I used to be. Mum was strides ahead of me chatting away happily, I was red faced and puffing behind her and she was just laughing at me, she is 66 years old - oh the shame lol! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
