No.1 Old Morris A.A, van.
No.2 Little Morris eight, Don Frazer inside owns it and also the Holmeswood coaches you see around.
No.3 I drove a few of these Bedford RL's in the army.
No.4 Even Rolls Royce's get wet.
No.5 Time to go inside now, it's too wet. Albion, motto sure as the sunrise, see the sunrays on the radiator.
No.6 I saw these in the workshop, lain undiscovered for years and just been cleaned up, they sell for over twenty quid on ebay.
No.7 The seat in the actual Popemobile, used when he visited Lancashire.
N0.8 You don't see many of these on the streets nowadays.
N0.9 Hello ducky.
No.10 My old mate Clifford grabbed me to dance infront of the organ with him, we drew a crowd and finished up with a few more people in the line up.

Not the best day out taking photos but it was better than sitting at home watching the rain run down the windows.

Lovely old Morris in No.2.
What tune were you dancing to? It looks like a good bit of fun!

Her best friends Sophie and Charlotte with Fizz, a beagle won another category so they were all happy and spent the £3 prize on some treats for the dogs! All the girls and the 2 dogs in the photo with the judge -a Cumbria TV presenter. The boy with the carved "trout" stick had made it himself! Unfortunately we missed the Cumberland wrestling -will be for next year!

Spanking backdrop to the event.

If you do it to the tune of "the Hokey Cokey it takes on a whole new dimension. You practise in secluded spots until you get the method down pat, then you can try it in the street, and then move onto shopping centres

Looks like an interesting day out -did you know about the connection between the Earl of Lonsdale and the AA -he had a fleet of yellow cars which is why they chose that colour! Love the pic of you dancing -good to see you having such a great time!

In response to Dave Mac and the Hokey Cokey video:

Yes, but how to explain it to all these Canucks I'm surrounded with? I'll end up in jail before I can blink!

I like them very much Maxthecollie, wish I was back up that way again.

The weather has been too bad for me to get out with the camera but I did manage one shot with the camera poking through the patio doors.
I didn't use a tripod either so the beer must be weak tonight.

Today in Pictures, a walk on the wild side.

1. Its raining over there, how do I know......its raining here as well.
2. Pendle is often in the distance, unless you are facing the other way, then its not.
3. The trees that line the river.
4. Water Mint, growing in the stream.
5. The River Calder.
6. So here I am in an empty field on my hands and knees taking a snap, just as I finish I turn around and a lady is passing with her dog.
7. Dean Brook as it passes under Clapper Bridge.
8. The River Calder at the point where Dean Brook joins the flow.
9. On the way back, the sky still looks full.
10. The weather briefly takes a turn to the sunny.

Nice moon shot! We don't do much better with all the fancy do-dads.
