In flower

I've been back in the hills today. It's been a while.

Because of strong winds higher up we did a lower level plan B trip. It was sometimes windy and always hot. As the day progressed we covered more open country with less and less sections with beech forest.

My hip and knee were ok. They'll probably always have something to say.

Afterwards we stopped at Springfield for the most expensive ice creams ever. It tasted good which was the main thing.

Back home it was 30 degrees at 6pm. I'd drunk a lot during the day and continued to during the evening. Apparently I needed it. No wasp stings either which is a bonus.

Today's gratitude: For being back in my happy place.
