Twenty Tree

A famous local landmark that I passed on the Snake Path to see the hills

Extra photos:: Over  Middle Moor to Cown Edge and Kinder Scout from White Brow.

A two hour hike - the first part very steep and then much more enjoyable in sunshine. back vi Kinder Reservoir and then along Kinder Road back to Hayfield.  Much better health this week ( so far!)

We got a tip off about some special birds in the area today. Snow Bunting but too juch of a hike when  I had already down one hike already BUT then an easier one 10 minutes away. Hawfinch - a couple of good views through scope. We only saw one, at one point flying with Goldfinches  ery helpful as it is so much bigger. There were at least 3 apparently.  one poor photo but added as Extra for the record.

After 24 years BBC’s Daytime drama Doctors finished with a victorious episode, the GP practice save for the future. It’s very bad decision amongst the cuts around the BBC.  The series was never a soap opera but in fact as the man said a place to inform, educate and entertain.  Some careers launched and fine actors appearing as guests. Timothy West who died this week aged 90 was in the penultimate episode!

It’s replaced next week by Rav Wilding and Scam Interceptors - worthy perhaps but no reason to stop funding Doctors.

Anyway if that was it for Doctors I say thanks to all involved. Mum loved watching it we used to follow it together. There was often chaos when lunch was late and it ran over the start time.
