Lynn's Birthday

Here is a challenge: can you guess what year Lynn has been celebrating on this birthday.  The cake candles give the clue but I warn you, the answer is not easy to determine!

First day, first walk

First day of a new tear and the rain has finally stopped for a while, and this bright yellow thing is shining from the sky.  New day sack in the sales yesterday as Lyds is taking my older one back to university.  So today Lynn and I pulled on our boots, barely dry from the soaking in the Lake district last week and headed out to Gutter Tor, Legis Tor (new one for me), Ditsworthy Warren House (of 'War Horse' fame) and Higher Hartor Tor.  This is an interesting walk with standing stones, stone rows and bronze age hut circles en route.
