Today in pictures

Good to see the photos of the woodlands. When I was growing up the area was all grass right over to Bell lane and there were four football pitches and a cricket pitch, when we played on them we were in the Accy combination it cost us eleven shillings a game paid to the council. There was also a large pond down in the field with large trees all around.
Before the council owned it I think it belonged to the miners and there was a very large wooden building which was later used for players changing. I would have been about six when my Mother and Dad went there every Saturday night for dancing and drinking and a good social evening out. Three full size snooker tables and at the back of the building two bowling greens. That was when people new how to enjoy there selves, Happy Days still remembered.

The festival is called Le Corde dell'anima -which means "The Chords of the Soul" and combines literature with music.

The setting is inspirational

Their names are Daisy ( the hyperactice one ) and Duke ( Fathead ), can`t believe I got that shot of the cricketer , only took four pics of that game and I got him being bowled out.

Daisy has a great "pointer" stance that I`ve been trying to catch, she just doesn`t hold it for long enough.

Are the names from the Dukes of Hazzard -remember that old TV series?

A series of shots around the side streets of Cremona -mostly round the back of the Cathedral. Final one shows an mid-1800's factory which is just outside the center and has been preserved -could almost be in Accrington with the red-brick and chimneys!

More of the center of town and the festival tomorrow...

Those narrow streets are more than interesting, I would be there for hours, days, snapping them, especially when the street lights are on.

Yes it is. We got Daisy first, she already had that name and we kept it. When we got Duke, it seemed a good name for him.
