Lovely Ossie
Safely back in 'sunny' Sicily (I actually miss the rain!!), I have finally found time to look at photos. My friends are overwhelmed at the beauty of the Foxhill nature Reserve and I must admit, I found it fantastic. I had played in the 'Plantation as a young girl, but I was unable to recognise my old haunt. Thanks to a very good guide, I had a great time looking round and I actually saw some squirrels. The guide told me that unfortunately, many local people know nothing about the reserve so, if any members on the forum have never visited it, I advise you to go along.
Another place I visited was the Haworth Art gallery and there I had a guided tour of the Tiffany glass collection, another beauty often ignored by local people (so says the curator!!). I wasn't able to see the De Rose paintings so I'll try again next year. I think both Ossie and Accrington have improved so much and personally, I love the places. I know visiting is not like living there and I probably didn't see a lot of the negative things, but it will always be home to me. |

Re: Lovely Ossie
Great to read that you had such an enjoyable time, and can appreciate the many good things the area has to offer.
I'm lucky. I can sit in bed and watch the heron at the nature reserve.
