Cue an exit from the house at Warp speed 9.
Phoned around, could have met with folks, but a vision of hordes of dog walkers on such a mild sunny afternoon (first one for weeks) meant i was off West to bird the snow line.
A rare trip away from the patch, up to a cold & snowy Cheap mans well area.
(NB: part of a former local patch ! )
All is bright green at home, but 14km west was a different scene.
