Up early this morning, after a leisurely breakfast Ralph told me it was time for a walk. Unfortunately summer seems to have buggered off again so we left the house in rain, it had just about stopped when we got to where we were going to walk around the Pitstone Hill area near Ivinghoe.
Always a pleasurable walk around this area no matter which route you take, we went from Pitstone Hill car park toward Ivinghoe Beacon took a right just as the path starts going up, followed the fields on the permissive footpath , through Downs Farm across the road & turning right back along the fields to the car park, about 45 minute I suppose. There was a couple of cyclists out & a couple of runners & in the distance a group of youngsters probably doing their Duke of Edinburgh's award or such like. There was a few Skylarks chirruping away for all they were worth high above the fields, its a beautiful sound, tried to get a photo but as you can see results weren't very good, the photo of the Crow is alittle better.
Ralph busied himself on the walk sniffing here and there & paying little attention to any wildlife, he's always interested in people though, I'm sure he thinks he knows them!
