may your blessings outnumber the thistles

It's Sarah's 30th birthday today.

Memorably, her birthday began on top of Bishop Forest Hill, where we had bivvied out last night with Chris. We all woke to the sound of skylarks (so loud above us!) and once we had come round properly, enjoyed the view and packed up, we walked back to the house, ready for some coffee :-)

This afternoon we visited the grounds of Dalswinton House. After walking around the lake, we left D on the island in the middle to do his yoga and some sketching, while we went for a walk. Then we all went to the Journey Garden behind the Barony church, where this photo was taken.

There is a special dish being cooked for tea :-)

Today's walks: Bishop Forest Hill to home 3.39 miles, Dalswinton wander 4.32 miles
