The view you presented was the swimming pool, and said whales swam past, if you had said goldfish I might have believed you, but you cant get a whale in a pool, unless its one of those you blow up.

Didn't get the joke Dave -I'm a bit slow on the up-take at times! Mum actually went out and bought some binoculars yesterday down at a little shop in the village - no more whales have been sighted since! Typical but we are enjoying watching the boats go by and birds that fly over from an Eagle park in the mountains not far away.

Today in Pictures, nowt special today, just Cutwood Park.

1. No black swan this time ?
2. Skimmia colouring up.
3. Its a bit small yet to be certain what it is, best guess, turkey tail bracket fungi.

After that it was the BIG shop.

When I am taking pictures, and this happens a lot on the walks, bob either stops and stands still, of sits down and waits, this makes it easy to include in the picture.
No it wasn't me in the spar, dont use that shop.

Today in Pictures, a walk on the wild side, with wet and windy options.

1. Thats the direction we are going.
2. Half way up, a watering hole.
3. the next section covers water coming off Hameldon Hill.
4. We progress towards the wet bits.
5. Signs of a past long since buried.
6. Moisture at its moistest.
7. The long view.
8. I'm doing the doggy paddle for this one.
9. Looking back from whence we came.
10. The return point, it will be dark soon

Today in Pictures, a poodle over Pendle, or a walk on the wet side, or I'm getting to old for this, or there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing.

1. Thats the destination, the wooded bit.
2. Its a sign, I have received a sign.
3. How stuff survives in the open is a mystery.
4. A dry stone wall with bits sticking our, don't know why.
5. The overflow from Churn Clough Reservoir.
6. The passage of the overflow as it heads towards Sabden.
7. The jetty out to the centre pier, cant walk it, just poking my head through a gap.
8. Far side of the res, one of the streams that feeds the reservoir.
9. Heading back now, just a final wave before departing.
10. An old gnarled tree growing in the base of an old cart track.

Today in Pictures, only a barmpot would go out on a day like today.....................I'm a little barmpot tall and stout, heres my handle heres my etc.

1.Pass my crampons I'm going in.
2.Its a wooden motor bike and sidecar,......I know, its a gun carriage.
3.Thats a big sod.
4. I do like a lichen, but, I like a lichen on a Larch more.
5. And so to water, the roar off the water is a bit intimidating.
6. If I fall in here I will bob up at Southport.
7. I can't hear myself talk, its a good job I'm not talking, I am however doing duck impressions.
8. Should I be this low in the water.
9. The bottom reservoir appears to be compromised at the outflow.
10. Finally a much taken snap as we head down off the Coppice to the car.
