So after the complete downpour upon the Yorkshire Moors (the story got slightly sidetracked by the visa letter appearing) we decided to hop over to the other side of the road and into a different valley to visit Dalby Forest - a Forestry Commission forest drive with pull ins, walks, mountain bike tracks and visitor places. Even though the majority of things are outside there's at least a tourist information centre to shelter from somewhat. Luckily the weather was totally different, even with the odd tiny shower we managed a good (yet steep) walk into the forest, caught sight of a gorgeous selection of butterflies and bees, wild flowers and bird song.
You could spend hours walking around the numerous trails, you can even hire bikes and have a tour around which I could imagine being excellent fun. Sometimes its just nice to stop and just hear the peace and quiet and watch the birds fluttering around. While it does get popular on the summer weekends and during school holidays on Tuesday it was nice and quiet, easy enough to escape the rest of civilisation.
Today I spent the afternoon printing off the countless visa forms I need to fill out. Last count was eight forms. Gah but i'll probably write much more about that in the near future!

Thank you guys! The rain does bring a new light onto the world doesn't it Jem. I have a bit of a thing for loving the smell of rain, just dislike the puddles!
ReplyDeleteI have a target of a form a night for the next week. That's the mission anyway. I would take them to do on my lunch at work but I get enough "interesting" questions about me and my visa.
Great pictures! Hope you get those forms finished! :)I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole!
