2020 - A Year in Cragg Vale
Whilst still sleeping beneath its snowy blanket, the earth is starting to dream of new awakenings
As the hard edge of winter begins to recede, there are clear signs that the seasonal cycle is beginning to turn
As the days grow longer and colours show more brightly, the living beauty is now emerging
New life appears from all directions, providing reassurance that Mother Nature knows exactly what she is doing
The warmth and beauty of the land make Cragg Vale the perfect place to commune with nature
Tall trees, rolling countryside with water features aplenty, and some amazing wild- life, all on our doorsteps
The pathways and hillsides provide exercise, relaxation and adventure – something for everyone
Whilst beauty abounds, thoughts must also turn to harvest, and winter feed for livestock
September provides an opportunity for communities to celebrate the harvest, and enjoy the fruits of their labour
As vivid greens turns to brown and golden, the valley takes on a new form of beauty and signals that its getting time to wrap up warmly
The damp of early autumn turns to crisp and clear, with spectacular cloud patterns and the low sun providing some interesting shadows and shapes
As winter settles in, it provides a new beauty to the landscape, and a time to reflect on another year passed in God’s own country, with a new cycle of nature not too far away
