Sheep!

Dan has drama on a Saturday and sometimes Abi likes to go shopping with her mum, so occasionally I find myself with a little exercise window early on a Saturday afternoon. 

Normally, I'd swim or go for a run but I've had an odd - although not painful - twinge in my thigh, so I decided to go for a walk instead. I had time to do a 4.75 mile route that I'd normally run, out along Barbondale. 

It makes quite a nice change walking the route - I certainly noticed a lot more - plus I was wearing waterproofs, which I wouldn't when running, and the rain was really coming down. 

There's a flat area near the bridge across Barbon Beck, where people sometimes camp and, as you might expect, make fires. I don't know when this pit was last used or if there was any residual warmth, but this sheep was making herself comfortable in it.
