Last time i was in Accy I saw a lot of rows of houses that had been sand-blasted back to their original colour and they looked great. In my kitchen at home i have a pin board full of postcards and photos featuring my favourite Lakeland fells, Pendle Hill and a Lowry painting among others -he captured something of the feeling of the North with the factories, chimneys and houses. I always think that the view across Accy from the Coppice would have made a great subject for him as it has everything in it.  |
I wonder what your husband and sons make of your home town/county. Have they visited much?
