It is now a small hostel. The Inveroran hotel still did excellent cake (and long may that be true) and was a good place for some afternoon tea at the end of the day&#8217;s walking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1172\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/plant-notice-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/plant-notice-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/plant-notice-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/plant-notice-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/plant-notice-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward 1 year to 2020 and it was a still a good day for a walk. After three unexpected days staying in Tameside Hospital, it was good to be back in the valley and out in the beautiful scenery of Longdendale. I took a slow walk along a short section of the TPT. I enjoy the beautiful reflections in the reservoir and the clear air as well as seeing quite a few butterflies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/geese-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/geese-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/geese-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/geese-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/geese-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I understand there&#8217;s a local scarecrow festival in the village, but time tomorrow to report on that.<\/p>\n<p>From the remembered bible, psalm 139:<em> You know when I sit down and when I get up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When air is clear and skies are windows,<br \/>\nI praise the Creator, air-maker.<br \/>\nWhen air is troubled and breathing is hard,<br \/>\nI praise the Son, air-breather.<br \/>\nWhen air is ruffled, rushing past, disturbed,<br \/>\nI praise the Holy Spirit, air-mover.<br \/>\nI rest here and praise the Holy Three,<br \/>\nEmbraced as I am by the beautiful clear air.<\/p>\n<p>JAL: 12.07.2020 on a bench in Longdendale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 88 of the End to End in 2019 was once more on the West Highland Way.
