In the latest instalment of Emma’s midlife crisis she goes on her 1st hike. Encounters some serious beauty and surrounds herself in nature. At times it’s that quiet and there are no people around that she feels like the only soul on the planet.
Rivington pike loop is a challenging hike, the elevation gains at times had me hearing my heart in my ears and was really out of breath. The steep walk down was a huge challenge for me as I hate heights at one time I wouldn’t of had the courage to take such a steep route down so I’m really proud of myself for that. Some very boggy areas on the moors to navigate, again a new experience for me. Proud of myself for choosing my 1st route to challenge me to my limits as well as emersing myself in so much beauty. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #ptsd #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #complextrauma #complextraumarecovery #hike #1sthikeever #hikelife #hikeuk #rivingtonpike #winterhill #lancashiremoors #nature #beauty #peace #calm #quietthechaos

Hey #WinterHill friends in #SomervilleMA: don't do laundry today...

Hydrant flushing.

Yikes.

Yesterday I was describing my trip to the #WinterHill bakery including an apple turnover as big as your head.

They laughed. I'm not kidding.

Also, Pastéis de Nata.

Big news in #SomervilleMA: it's real. The Star Market site on #Broadway in #WinterHill is finally under development. For real. Lots of housing coming. #YIMBY

@mem_somerville yeah! looks like it will be right across from the (Excellent!) Taj Mahal Desi Bazaar grocery, at 273 Broadway (next to Subway) in #WinterHill - very exciting.

THE AUTHORITY’S STATIONS: THE NORTH

Hoooo boy. At the #SomervilleMA public meeting on the #WinterHill gunfire, it did not go well.

Ain't nobody happy. Some are mad about city comms. Some are mad about defunding the police. Some are mad that resource officers were removed from schools. Some are mad at the lack of diversity in the room.

One guy wanted to nuke the Mystic housing. Sigh.

The city was mostly very defensive. It wasn't a good look.

Two days ago there was a rolling #gun battle through the #WinterHill area of #Somerville. (No one was hit, at least.) I happened to be in the area today and spotted at least one bullet mark on a shop. Chilling to see.

Allen Clarke's song for the 1896 Winter Hill mass trespassers, all 10,000+ of them, which was printed on thousands of song sheets just like other popular broadside ballads. (Bolton Socialist Club sang this for the centenary. Does anyone still sing it? Is there a recording available?)

Will yo’ come o’ Sunday morning’
For a walk o’er Winter Hill?
Ten thousand went last Sunday
But there’s room for thousands still!

O the moors are rare and bonny
And the heather’s sweet and fine
And the roads across the hilltops –
Are the people’s – yours and mine!

Which was later echoed in veteran Kinder trespasser Ewan MacColl's 1932 song The Manchester Rambler, a song so iconic that it has it's own wikipedia page.

I may be a wage slave on Monday
But I am a free man on Sunday.

Snow everywhere 😀 Could do with some crampons and another pole, but in the meantime I'll survive

Today was all about sun coming through the clouds and clouds rolling across the Moors. They never made it to my side of the hills. Sometimes they were 20 metres away, but didn't come over the crest. Nice day on #WinterHill
