My number one girl.

Our Steven and Stuart were determined not to let Una's birthday go unnoticed.


It was tinged with some sadness though, it brought to our attention the passing of Irene Hackett a friend of mine from years ago.

Funny or scarey.

Yesterday at Cannon Hall Barnsley we were roaming round and bumped into these weird looking hikers. I don't know if they were trolls, trogs or the offspring of Rumpelstiltskin. I'm just glad I'm a grown up and brave!!! If I had been a child I would have been terrified.

Back to School.

Back to school signals one thing and for me it's too early to mention but there's a clue in the photo.
All over the store chocolates are piled high.

Back to the hills.

 Kinder Scout, the weather forecast was morning mist burning off early, then sunshine and warm.
Wrong it did not clear until we were well on our way back.
The last time I was up here I had just had my knees done and was still taking Tramadol.
This time it is just me no painkillers no drugs.

 After we reached the top and had had our sandwiches we set of back it was too cold and damp to go any further.

 To go on would have spoiled the walk, sods law as soon as we got back down the cloud lifted.

Two of the locals welcomed us back.

Heartbreakers.

I find this is the best way to own a dog. I donate every month by direct debit, I never see the dog but I know one is being fed somewhere.
Below the four cats that come twice a day to be fed 7am and 5pm. I have no idea where they sleep or where they spend the day.

Every Wednesday after tea.

Market Rasen picnic park. No story just photos I love looking at Motor Cycles.

Skeg Vagas.

Skegness Lincolnshire another East Coast resort.
First things first never start an adventure on an empty stomach, into the arcades for some fast food, chicken and chips with a little bit of salad to make it healthy eating.

The sea is a bit of a walk away but within easy reach.

Slightly safe bathing but there is a strong down shore drift, if you don't watch what you're doing you can finish up way down the beach or worse. I have only swam in the sea here once and I'm talking from experience I didn't know about about the drift, it was a long way back and scary to say the least.

The wind turbines I'm sure are to power Skeggy's amusement arcades. The machines (one arm bandits) and the lighting to me are a wonderful sight.

 I can not believe looking at the beach that school has started.

The pier was much longer years ago possibly twice it's present length. In January 1978 it was damaged beyond repair by a gale and a high spring tide a real loss to Skegness.
  

During the day it was really busy but when but when the clock struck five everyone went home for tea.

We stuck it out until the sun lost it's heat.
