Desperate measures!

In a rush this morning to drive to the Helmsley 'shop'. A bit anxious as snow was forecast and the infamous Sutton Bank is the most direct route. The rain turned to snow as I went up and was laying on the moor top. I realised I hadn't got my camera with me which meant my hopes of an interesting 'blip' were dashed. The journey back in the afternoon was gloomy with thick fog on the tops. The hours in between went slowly helped only by cups of coffee and some nice biscuits in the tin!
Back home nothing inspired me. Tried Diesel but he wouldn't stand still, wandered round the garden and spotted this old rusty chain. I found it a couple of years ago in a newly ploughed local field. I don't know what it is for but I find 'dug up' things fascinating. It sits on a little wall by a flower border to be admired from time to time.
Think I'm suffering from a touch of 'cabin fever', tomorrow I must spend some time outside -is this the January blues?
