Thistleton Brook

This little brook can either be a roaring small river up to the top of the banks or a small trickle in the summer.
It empties into the river Wyre & was the boundary for our dairy farm. As it’s tidal it ebbed & floes with the tide. I took this photo on our walk with Connie yesterday. The high grassy bank goes all the way round to the Cartford Inn then back up the road to our house. It’s a very nice circular walk used by many people & Connie makes the most of it running all over the place.
I tried to get her in the photo but as she’s always in front never behind I missed!

Three good things:
1. Toasted tea cake & a lot of tea for two in Booths.
2. Pictures of the amazing covered hen coop my brother & his son in law have made for their hens. I don’t think they will mind too much staying under cover because of bird flu.
3. Geese flying in….love the sound & sight of these winter arrivals.

Lovely photo....and it's wonderful to see and hear the geese.

I love how the colour of the sky is mirrored in the Brook.

Pretty place. I can hear Connie if I listen carefully…… 😂🐾

A lovely rural scene with the meandering brook finding its way through the land!

[Carole Sandford]

Looks as if it has a nice meander. Nice shot!

A very English posting here - I wish we used the word, brook. Toasted tea cake and geese flying in!

Connie will love running around here on her walks. Does the brook ever flood the surrounding area?

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

@onewing No Babs as it’s got quite high sides but it’s fast & furious when the tide is going out! Never goes over that bank.

Love this scene.

@maggiemae I guess you’re right maggie, it’s winter coming & all things turn to comfort! I think I have only heard Brook used in this country you’re right!

[Issi Bannerman]

Great shot of your walk. I can well imagine that with a lot of rain, this brook can spread its wings a bit, so to speak!

I love this rural scene and can almost see myself walking along the edge of the Brook.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot and scene. A great place to let the dog run without a leash - lucky Connie.

@kgolab @sangwann I have to watch her when the brook is running fast…always frightened of her being swept away but she’s a bit nervous of water thankfully.

I love this Patt, the light on the water is lovely , it's a very flat landscape
