Beautiful shots Dianne. Would love to visit the jewellery shop....it appeals to my ideals of 'something different'...when my ship comes in, I know where I am going to spend the money.

it depends on what you call large ... in a way it is .. its from the main road ie haslingden road going into rawtenstall up to the road that goes past the ski slope .. theres tennis courts in there as well .. used to have an aerial slide up at the back when i was a kid

Lovely shots again Dave -the toothache couldn't have been too bad!

A selection of shots showing Santo Stefano in Bologna -amazing old church and ex-monastery which was mentioned by Dante as he visited it in 1284 (I think that was the date!) The brick work was beautiful and the font in one of the cloisters is dated to 730ad! It was incredibly peaceful -only a stone's throw from bustling Bologna center.

If anyone is interested this is a link to show the square and church in my photos!ItalyGuides.it: Piazza of Santo Stefano, Bologna Italy

It didn't hurt at all, but a big hole in a tooth is a thing you cant keep your tongue out off, and it was scratching the inside of my cheek, so it wanted sorting.

Nice arches again, tried the website, and the panoramic tour in full screen is just like being there, apart from the sun warming your bones.

Yes, I tried it too and felt like I had been on holiday, but with no packing and no passport control.......the downside...no tan and no duty free

Today in Pictures, places revisited as the seasons change.

1. Dogwood berries.
2. Platts Lodge.
3. Waterfront Apartments.
4. Its a caterpillar, that saw me coming and went into a ball.
5. Don't look at my feet, I said don't look at my feet, oh go on then.
6.Looking across the lodge, the trees of Woodnook Vale in the distance.
7. Another of the lodge from the far corner.
8. Hagg Lodge.

It started a thought though, perhaps there is a website with a lot more, when I have a bit of slack in my curriculum I might have a mooch for one.

[Margaret Pilkington]

I'm sure Dianne would know.....and point you in the right direction.
I just longed to be there with my camera.
