Out And About.

I would be a bit wary of the wildlife (including dogs, maybe humans) during the night on some godforsaken country road. 

The most threatening experience I've had of British wildlife was a narrow path filled with angry looking cows.

Yeah, it's an sorry comparison compared to what our American or Australian posters have.   

I came close to running into a jaywalking bear on the way back from my parent's cottage this weekend. That's the second time in more or less the same place.

Fucker should look before he crosses, or I'll have a free bearskin rug.   

Also, on the same trip, someone ahead of me ran over a skunk, and the stink cloud it made was just incredible.

Only a lawyer would hold wildlife to have infringed a road traffic law.

Homeward bound down the valley, face buried into a strong southwesterly, vees of gulls tacking above me on their evening commute.  Half way back we bump into wings of geese flying on the wind. Wondered if the two species might 'dogfight' around me.

I really do love your posts.

Just been out to check my 'manor' plenty of small debris in the roads , the occasional power line or small tree down, otherwise not a lot of damage, other than this one large oak irreparably weakened in an exposed spot 5 miles up the road.



Because it was getting dark, couldn't tell if it was a fast or slow growth oak, might have been barely 100 years old or could have been 18th century or earlier.

The short winter days have just about arrived.

Having visited England in wintertime I am intrigued by the winter that's just a bit cool and rainy and not the deep freeze BS we get here.

Yeah, that would get me and most English people really down; I don't know how you guys cope.

You bundle up, and enjoy the snow.

England is to snow, as water is to oil.

Back from the high country bitches.

Looks like fun and proper outdoors living, 111B.


Nearest high country to me, is in another country, Black Mountains in Wales.

Had a good time and walked a total of 25 miles. Getting to old for that shit at 47. A lot of good guys up there and I have yet to run into any assholes. Storm blew in the night of the 2nd and was snowing like hell. Had to move lower to follow the Elk. When the snow hits the ground they start moving to lower elevations. No legal elk just spikes and cows. The bigger bulls were being cagey. Seen four hanging in various camps ranging from 3 point to 5 point bulls.

What the hell did you do out there?  Did you cut down all those trees?
