I spent a couple of hours with Brett, Molly and Sam walking on Darwen Moor this afternoon. I would have spent longer but the cold biting wind was giving me a toothache.

I took the dogs for a 2hr walk on the east side of Winter Hill this afternoon and on the way managed to get a couple of pictures when the sun struggled through the clouds.

We had our first snowfall of the winter today, so I took the dogs out for what would be Molly’s first experience of such conditions. Having parked the car not far from Rivington Hall we spent the afternoon wandering through woods and across fields.
