For those of you that don't know already, Garrigill is on the Pennine Way. This is why we get so many people wearing bright hats, large boots and wearing waterproof maps around the neck. It is also on the cross country cycle way and this is why we get a lot of men wearing tights.
One of these is more disturbing than the other, but after a while you start to get used to various coloured baggy or skintight clothes wandering past your living room window in the rain.
However, we didn't have rain (unusual for Cumbria) and after the first of the snow the weather decided to have a warm up and so Kasha and I decided to walk the dogs on the Pennine Way path between Garrigill and Alston.
Because Kasha is an artist there is always a camera in her pocket so that she can get reference shots and as Autumn is starting to move on us the trees were putting on quite a show of colour not just for our benefit but also for those that walked past in large boots and bright hats.
It was one of those days when everyone said "Hello" or wanted a little chat. It's nice when that happens. Friday it was snowing, and cold and I was in the Arse End of Nowhere. Saturday, the sun was shining and I couldn't be in a more beautiful place.
