My favourite view

Another Monday! Frosty but bright - so I walked alone (no dogs now) round the permissive path. Met one of my neighbours riding her horse in the lane. She told me she had met a man in the woods holding a knife - which gave her a fright. A poacher probably.
Later going to Hexham saw a pair of little owls sitting in a tree. They flew away though before I had time to snap them.
