Good morning all,
Merling day is here again, gives me plenty of exercise jostling with bus loads of pensioners between the shelves, who are all after the same items I need. If I didn't need to eat I would not bother.
Merle, let me know the date of your hospital thingy, hope it all goes well.

Myton is an interesting village, it was first inhabited by the Ancient Brits, then the Saxons and Danes. It is mentioened in the Doomsday Book as 'Mittune.' In 1300 and something a battle took place here between the Scots and a rag tag army mainly of priests.Tens of thousands were killed. The battle site is well marked, it is less than 500 yards from my home. The bridge at Myton was built in the 1800's by the local squire, and was rebuilt recently by the local villagers raising the money. It is unique in that it is a road bridge that goes no-where, being on what is now a bridle path. The village pump is being repaired at the moment, and should be in place sometime this year. The oldest house, as far as I can tell was built in 1664. Sir Ken Morrison of supermarket fame, lives here in the Hall, and now farms loads of the local land, breeding both cattle and sheep. And I and dog? We roam the streets and fields, and wander down the riverside to where the Swale and the Ure meet to form the Ouse, the river that runs through York. It's rural. It's quiet, and it's home.

That was an appetizing description of your home village
- done with facts, poetry, love and the sense of belonging.

If I do get the chance to come there, I hope you and dog will take me along on one of your walks.

Good Morning!
Windy, grey, cool, dry so far
- autumn knocks on Denmark's door for good and for bad ...

morning....even windier :)

Good morning everyone. Windy day today, something I ate? Nah it's outside!
Not much use for milkmaids in this area den, it's all beef cattle and sheep.
Balham and Peter, that brings back a lot of memories.
As for walking, if it aint raining dog and I can often be seen disappearing over the hillside pockets laden with treats for him and medicines for me. Neither of us need much of an excuse to get ut.
