A very blustery morning at Dinorwic quarry today. A good show of goats around the lower slopes which are good to see.

Went out to the local woods this afternoon while the pork was roasting. A nice little spin with some nasty looking weather over the mountains of Snowdonia. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50555879941_b815701fe0_c.jpg IMG_20201101_164455_027 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com...

Re: Your favourite moments?

Not wanting to close your eyes because the night sky is glistening with a gazillion stars.

Watching the pre-sunrise sky change colour.

Stumbling across a shop on the Isle of Harris 10 minutes before they close and shopping like you're on Supermarket Sweep!

Probably it was in the back of my mind that its going to be awful from around 5am tomorrow. When you're cold at 5pm doesn't bode well for how y...
