Styal steps.

After going to bed with an aching back (the result of spending yesterday re-pointing the front doorstep, repairing the shed roof and then going for a run) I woke feeling no better.

Did some stretching; made no difference; still hurt; went to play tennis anyway; was absolutely shocking; might as well give up!

Went home, showered and got G to stretch me back into shape. Felt a little better.

This afternoon we met D, S and J and went for a long, muddy wander through Styal Woods. I took this shot on the way back to the tea rooms. I rather like the candid, unposed nature of the shot.
