  1. Just a couple. One of the natural ponds on or near Cockfield Fell. About another month this will be teeming with frog spawn and adult frogs. It dries up in late summer and pond flora grow. Then fills up with water in winter.
  2. Rest in Peace Good Angel Kev, it was a privilege to share a dancefloor with you and I always enjoyed our chats on here and the laughs. Suz x
  3. These lovely flowers have appeared first snowdrops down the woods
  4. 4 years ago today I took this picture out of my bedroom window
  5. My favourite woods, covered in moss and livhen. No snowdrops yet
  6. My favourite little stream Crow Howle Beck the life's blood of the woods
  7. Much as I like a bit of sun now and again, I love my area and I think with a dusting of snow it looks even prettier. It is also seasonal. Best wishes
  8. This isn't my video, but is off you tube taken of the recent snow in my area. I recognise Cockfield Fell, Woodland, Raby Castle and I think the village that is shown is Copley 2 miles from me (statistically the snowiest place in England and fifth snowiest in the UK) Not that much snow this time but still plenty of time for it
  9. A few from today's 6 mile walk out where I live. Nice wintry sunshine
  10. Happy New Year to you all Sunrise at Wham 3.1.17 out of my bedroom window
  11. Absolutely gorgeous your grandchild. Happy Christmas little one xx Merry Christmas to all on here Love Suz
  12. Think this one ranks as in the top 10
  13. We get amazing sunrises and sunsets where I live. It looked like volcanic larva
  14. Sunset at High Wham 19.12.16
  15. It quite amazes me how they can spawn in the stream as it is quite shallow in parts, it goes into the River Gaunless where I thought they would spawn not the beck. The one I saw was huge, granted he was in the deepest pool. I knew we had fish living in there as we have two pair of Kingfishers at least on there as well as have seen Dippers feeding too.
  16. I don't have a photo but on Saturday I was privileged to see a Sea Brown Trout in a little stream near me, they come to spawn and make the journey all the way to here. It was covered in white scales, this is something they gain to help them cope with the salt water. It was massive the fish I saw. It must be so healthy the beck and was lovely to see
  17. Larvae like sky at sunset at High Wham in Teesdale where I live 26.11.16
  18. A couple from yesterday's walk along Cockfield Fell Small Copper and Small Tortoiseshell.9 The Small Copper I am so pleased to get as they are very fast flying
  19. I’ve wandered many a weary mile And in strange countries been, I’ve dwelt in towns and on wild moors And curious sights I’ve seen; But still my heart clings to the dale, Where Tees rolls to the sea, Compared with what I’ve seen I’ll say, The Teesdale Hills for me. Richard Watson, Teesdale poet.
  20. Had a walk along another of my favourite walks on Sunday, the Old Tees Railway Walk Romaldkirk to Middleton in Teesdale. A beautiful Red Admiral landed on a bramble bush in front of me. I spent about ten minutes watching a bee and a hoverfly sharing a feed on Devils Bit Scabious. A few other bees and hoverfly taken too
  21. Hedge Woundwort still flowering, some great types of fungi on Cockfield Fell too. I just love this place
  22. Small Tortoiseshell near Cockfield Felltaken on Saturday 17th September 2016
  23. It is beautiful the whole of Teesdale is. Where are you from in the north east? Suz x
  24. Congratulations he is beautiful
  25. Ha yes well spotted Mallards. That stretch of the Tees is quite slow flowing. Suz x
