- Watching the rhythm of rural life, from the top of a hill in northern England. Having spent most of my life avoiding writing, I now need to do it! I am no domestic goddess, but if I were expecting visitors to my home, I would whisk round with the duster and plump up the cushions and generally make the place look presentable. I hope that by putting my words where others may see them it will encourage me to ‘tidy up and push the Hoover around’ my writing. On the other hand I may just be adding to the compost heap. Only time will tell! Pull up a chair, sit yourself down, I’ll put the kettle on.

Watching nature take its course, from the top of a hill in a rural area of northern England...... Here I write about this, that and the other; posts are about whatever catches my eye, or captures my imagination: my take on the world usually comes from a rural perspective, but I make no promises....... I have a bit of a ‘magpie’ mind, it is eclectic and has a preference for collecting bright shiny things, so all bright shiny contributions are welcome as comments or emails........ We are a family of four; my self, Mr Uphilldowndale (Mr Uhdd), and our two boys, Tom aged 14 and Joe 12. In addition there are a couple of cats and 4 maverick chickens and a puppy named Spud. I love the landscape here and the wildlife, I have a special interest in lumps of rock, as you will see if you stay around for a while....... Welcome to this blog, I hope you find something of interest, and if you do, please call again; next time you are passing. Heather Uphilldowndale-
