Up & over by happypat

Up & over

At the end if my walk yesterday I have to climb over this stile.
The field is low down so there are four steps to climb up.....it’s incredibly steep. I have to grip hold of the lower rails & hoist myself up then move my hands to the top of the rail then up & over....not easy when you’ve just walked about five miles!
There is a bench just round the corner on the bridge ...I have to have a breather before walking up that last hill.
It didn’t help that the heifers had been messing around the bottom of the stile & it was very muddy!

Three good things:
1. I’ve defrosted the freezer,
2. Feed back from Sunday’s viewings...wife loved it but he’s not sure...bigger than they thought etc still thinking about it but I guess it’s a NO.
3. I found half a sticky toffee pudding at the bottom of the freezer...we might fight over it!!
Sounds like a challenge at the end of a walk! Well done you. Sticky toffee pudding?? I'll be there in five.....

Great pov and composition ! What an obstacle towards the end of your walk , but a sturdy looking style ! Lovely blue sky and sunshine - so different from our day yesterday and today Alas - more like Autumn than Summer !! Well done on defrosting the freezer - mine is desperate in need of defrosting !! -- perhaps tomorrow !! as it forecasts more rain ! Hope I will find a sticky toffee pudding or some other tasty morsel when I get round to the clean !! Sorry it does not seem to positive on the Sunday viewers ! - don't feel too despondent - the right person is bound to come along soon !

@beryl Thank you Beryl, you are always lovely & supportive! The sticky toffee pud went down a treat a even better the ice cream was a bit soft after being out if the freezer for a bit. Always nicer when it’s me,ting! A job I put off but I couldn’t think of an excuse so it’s done! More viewers tomorrow, parents having a reccy for their daughter who lives in Wales.

@julzmaioro Yes a real solid stile.....it’s getting a lot of use just at the moment with all the walkers! All the cattle on the walk & there were 48 in one field I walked through & 18 in the stile field...all lovely & quiet thank goodness. Lots of dogs on leads too so good they are calm.

@susiemc Thanks Sue...that last stretch was hard work! No walking today as it was wet but I feel I have done my bit for a day or two.

Sounds like a challenge, Pat.
Defrosting the freezer is also a challenge (at least for me...).
Nice capture of the stile.

I love the way you have taken this image, just peeping over the top.

Nice

Well done.

It is a very sturdy stile, no crooked man or crooked sixpence under this one.

I wish your house was in Australia, it would sell in no time here. I am sure a buyer will come along soon.

I had sticky toffee pudding for desert last night too. David had chocolate pudding, they are individual ones so we didn't have to fight.

@onewing Yes we get those individual puddings too Babs, very handy they are too. This was some left over from a bigger pudd...there was enough for two so all ok! This house is big....the women love it but the men look at the upkeep & mowing etc & think twice! We need a two generation family ideally, parents coming today to look for a daughter living in Wales. Parents local so it might appeal to them! It’s hard work always being spot on inside & out!

@gijsje I hate it Bep! So cold on your hands & I have Raynaud's disease..... y hands go numb even with gloves on!

Your arms are so valuable when it comes to climbing! This looks charming! People don't want to upset sellers so they use all sorts of excuses!

I couldn't walk one mile let alone 5. Wonderful framing.

@maggiemae That’s what I would be like so can read between the lines! Stamp duty holiday to be announced today but doubt it will help us much as we are over the thresh hold! Might move the market underneath us!
