Relatives

Cousin Gill and Robert stayed over at the weekend. Always a pleasure to see them up here, had a great meal together with Nataliia too. 

I was on Hatfield Moors yesterday. As you can see by this reflection, it was very still; hardly a breath. There was also a welcome increase in the amount of water around. 

I met a local volunteer who records all the birds seen on the moors. His father had worked down the pit at Thorne Moors, then bought a chippy in the pit village of Moorends, where he grew up, before moving to Hatfield. He could not have been more steeped in the area's heritage.
