Glowing Netttles

Today we took the train from London back to Blackburn. Our trip to London and back on the train has slightly restored our faith in  rail travel in the UK. The journey down was really comfortable and our homeward trip was perfrctly OK, even if there were a lot of people on the train.
Once back in Blackburn we went for a trip across Witton Country Park with Dave and Jude, and Bramble.
The weather was gorgeous and these nettles were almost glowing in the sun. In traditional dog-walking mode we popped into a pub about half-way round and sat in their garden as the sun went down. Once the world was in shadow we had to walk home briskly to keep warm as shorts and t-shirts were no longer enough!
