Walking Sybil to Silverwood

Yesterday I decided to take Sybil to Silverwood. I've given up hope of ever finding the pond, if it is still there; if anyone from Rotherham reads this and knows where it is perhaps you could help me? Anyway it was a decent walk, down the Rusty Bump and across the fields at Dalton, past Thrybergh and up to the newly-planted trees.

Didn't manage to get many pictures as like I said, Sybil is a handful. But as you can tell from these pictures she obviously enjoyed the walk.

There were loads of little birds flying around the plantations, which was lovely to see. Unfortunately I didn't have my binoculars so wasn't sure which kinds they were. Sybil managed to get her time off the lead; at first I thought she wasn't coming back however she relished her freedom, jumping through the knee-high grass like Bambi.

Introducing Sybil

I haven't been posting lately because we have had a new addition to the family. At the end of July my mum and I went to our local dog rescue and adopted a dog. Her name is Sybil and she's a collie cross. She's quite a handful on her walks at the moment so going to the Peak District with her, let alone taking photographs as well, is not an option just yet. However, I had enrolled her in "Dog School", which starts next week. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of her:
