It's Monday, I Think

This lock-down business is all very well but it is even more difficult to remember what day it is than normally.  The weekend has gone and Settle er, settles back to 'normal'.  Time to reflect on the rights, wrongs and simply don't knows of the gradual return to what had become normality,

Much huffing and puffing online about 'visitors' having the cheek of coming to the Yorkshire Dales and other places of resort.  I am fast coming to the view that these vast National Parks should be devising ways to open up to sensible walkers and others.   This picture for me says it all - a lone walker who did not see another soul for twelve miles . . .

Meanwhile more inventive people are reaching for the skies where it is a jolly sight busier with gliders and nowadays lots of other tiny aircraft.  Among them locally is a regular hang-glider, Sara Spillett of Grassington.  Flying over Great Whernside she was able to capture this remarkable picture of oystercatchers in flight.  The middle one is actually caught mid-tweet!
