A walk in the woods
On a lighter note than that last post, Charlie, Lily, Ruairi and I went out last Saturday for our first walk in ages through the Glen Stewart ravine near our home.

Charlie and Lily set off ahead, Ruairi and I following (with him in the tracker, snuggled in against my chest).
Stunningly beautiful day, with crystal blue skies and the snow melting away all round us.

We decided to take the long route, leaving the main path to head off down into the heart of the ravine, along what C&L have christened "the adventure trail".

The stream at the bottom had started flowing again - rushing happily along, swollen with snowmelt; finally free of the icy binds of this long, long winter.

Definitely a good day to be alive.
