SMOG

We were warned it was coming and it came.

Usually when I take my dogs out I stop at this gate way and look to my beautiful surrounds. Usually the hills of the Pennines! ( i think!) its Alston way anyway( I think that too). Geography wasn't a strong point and thats another tale too as I once went to the bathroom at a pub in town, got lost and walked out the back door! Too embarrassed to go back through the same door in case anyone saw me looking lost I walked round and went back in through the front door. Much to the amusement of the group I was with. Another ocassion I walked into the broom cupboard instead of the exit door. only on that ocassion I wasn't the only one!

Anyway my hills! Usually you can see the hills, but not today. There is a haze today and funnily enough I swear it had a smell, a taste and seemed to make my throat dry.

Dirty air they called it on the news.

I just call it SMOG.
