Accrington Web - Dazzling dandelions!!

WHOOPS!! A hundred, thousand pardons are in order. I am indeed sincerely sorry to have obviously offended a number of you regarding my rather silly comments about semis and terraced house. There was no slight intended.
Well over sixty years ago I was actually born and reared in a tiny,very damp 18th century-built cottage at Top o' Hebers, a small hamlet midway betwixt Middleton and Heywood.
Our mean little cottage, despite lacking electricity-[ gas mantles for lighting ]-and just a cowd watter tap, was the home I loved and was proud of!

I have numerous relatives and friends who clearly enjoy living in semis and those old, stoutly built stone or Accrington brick terraced houses. And I enjoy visiting them. Indeed I am immensely proud of our Northern towns with their distinctive character: not for me " southern" towns with their homes of cement rendered breeze blocks!
Again, please forgive the stupid rantings of a pleasant, genial Proud Lancastrian who resides in North Yorkshire.
Alan.
