Although today was the darkest and coldest of my long weekend off work, we took the girls out to Cod Beck Reservoir at Osmotherley, one of our favourite haunts as the girls love it and it's only a few miles from home.
When we embarked from the car it was very overcast and drizzling. It seemed cold but we assumed that when we got moving we'd soon warm up. We were wrong. It was absolutely freezing ! The wind chill factor must have been several degrees below zero and by the time we had reached the end of our walk our hands were white and numb !
But, the girls had a fantastic time racing through piles of mud and swimming in the reservoir. We struggled to keep Whiskers out of the water despite the freezing temperatures. She's such a water baby :)

After our walk we went to one of our favourite pubs to warm up and have some lunch. I had fish and chips and Lovely Hubby had home-made corned beef pie which was made with shortcrust pastry - it looked delicious and made me think I might have a go myself. Normally we make corned beef pie with mash on top.
Back to work tomorrow but it's only three days - how hard can it
be ?!
Have a great week all x
After your cold walk you deserved a lovely meal, I love fish & chips, I have only made corned beef pie once from a Paul Hollywood cookbook, hubby loved it, I have some corned beef in,so I might do another one .
ReplyDeleteIt has been really cold today, we had a little walk and we had to come back and put the heating on to warm up.
Take care xxx
