That doesn't sound like the most pleasant visit to the UK! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I took this a couple of years ago. It isn't usually this fast-flowing but we'd had a lot of rain at that time. Hope you had a lovely family break nr Clitheroe.

Hi #KaleidoSaturday I haven't had time/energy to do much this week but did get out for a walk at Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds. I've "kaleidoscoped" (new verb?!) two of the photos I took that day. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Wow! That's further south than us! I guess the eastern side of England does tend to get worse weather than us for the most part. We're on the slightly more sheltered side of the Pennines.

It's been a few years now since we've had snow that deep in Yorkshire. Was that further north than West Yorks? What we've been having this winter is rain, rain and more rain. Droughts, and the odd heatwave, over the summers though. It's getting silly (and worrying).

No, I can't cope with too much heat, same as I can't cope with too much cold, so I don't think Australia would be any good for me. I can just about cope with England - though the weather is reaching both extremes more and more - and British plants are lovely.
What a lovely owl that is! ๐Ÿฆ‰

Yes, crocuses. Here are some white ones in front of the abbey ruin. Glad your carer has the scooter sorted. Take it easy when you get back on it - no zooming round corners at speed - lol!

Neither of us feel as bad today as we thought we would, though we are still aching a bit. Having a rest day today, then planning another little trip tomorrow (while the weather stays fine). Not sure if my husband will be joining me though - depends on how he feels. How are you now after your fall?

Managed a walk today with my husband - the first time I've walked a bit since my achilles tendon problem flared up. It was very Spring-like (see photo) and picked me up no end. We've both got lots of aches and pains now though (he has hip & knee arthritis).

Had a nasty thought today. What if Trump is like an arsonist who starts a fire deliberately in order to be hailed a hero when he puts it out? ie. what if he's starting wars in order to get his coveted peace prize when (he thinks!) he 'stops' them? Terrifying thought!

((hugs)) I feel for you! Thank goodness it seems to be easing. Is your scooter still OK to use once you feel up to it? Do you have a system where the doctor can come out to you?

Oh, Marie, I've only just seen this when I looked at your most recent posts after you'd said you were still sore all over in your latest one. Have you had someone look at it to see if you're OK? Hope you feel better soon.

Finally, 3 of 3 for #KaleidoSaturday - a cherry blossom tree. Can't wait till the cherry blossom comes into bloom again - Spring will truly be here then! ๐ŸŒธ

2 of 2 of my tree mandalas for #KaleidoSaturday. This is a stylised tree, full of large blooming flowers (wouldn't it be lovely if trees really were full of large blooming flowers?) ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿชท

Hi #KaleidoSaturday! I've been on a tree binge this week, so here's the first of 3 tree mandalas I did. This one's a tree of life. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Woke up early, so what better way to start the day than a walk along the #Victorian promenade. Such a spectacular sky this morning! #photooftheday #NatureIsMagic #photography #Wales

A small terracotta pot holding a blooming violet sits in the sun on the window ledge next to a Tudor-style window with a dark wooden frame. The walls are white plaster, and outside the window we can see a mountainside with trees (mostly conifer).

This is my go-to anxiety doodle lately. Soothing. #art

Running in a Pennine Wood during a rain storm.

Movement everywhere as the wind shook the trees, autumnal colours glistening in the wet.
