It wasn't easy getting the park to ourselves, I had to chase everyone out waving a stick,.................no I didn't, there were a few people about but not as many as I would have thought. It was warm holiday like weather, blue sky, and you could hear the aircraft flying overhead, a very holiday feel about the place.

Got it, take it easy then, and keep off the roller skates for a week.

A trip to the land of "Pie eaters", then onto "The North enders" home, even a couple snuck in from yesterday ...... is any explanation really necessary?

Its a viburnum, they are edible if cooked, but I have no idea what they taste of.

Dave you have been going to some of my favourite places again -I love the photos of Gatty Park -spent many a happy hour there as a girl.

Jen -lovely sunny photos again -great colours. Hope you're soon feeling better

DiG - you really should be careful who you associate with Found out recently through a friend why Wigan-folk are known as Pie-eaters - apparently they broke a county-wide mining strike in the 1800's and ever after had to eat humble pie. I'd always thought it was just because you got good pies in Wigan.

I don't know about viburnum berries but I think the seeds pods are poisonous. Aged 11 I spent a long afternoon in Accy Vic. waiting to get my ankle looked at -I'd broken it by falling off my space-hopper One of the longest days of my life as a group of kids were brought in and were given priority, they had to have their stomachs pumped because they'd eaten viburnum seeds thinking they were some kind of beans.

I think you might be mixing up your Laburnum with Viburnum, Laburnum seeds have pods that are kidney shaped, and black seeds.

I think you have found a very rare species there, Mycena ceramicus.

[davemac]

Today in Pictures, Memorial Park, Gt. Harwood, and the views from there.

1. Just what it says on the tin.
2. Looking to the right, at the entrance.
3. Heading uphill.
4. At the top end, looking down to the bottom entrance.
5. There is always one.
6. From the top end of the wooded area, looking over to Pendle Hill.
7. A bit lower down, and a bit further round, you can see Martholme Viaduct.
8. And in the forest there was a house made out of gingerbread.
9. Back at the main entrance, almost.
10. Just time for a last one.

Oh I know, but you see Mo, I was doing charitable work at the time & being beneficent to those less fortunate, a couple of life's more put upon souls.

You are right Dave -realised as soon as I saw what you'd written -it was Laburnum seeds theys eaten! They lived to tell the tale...
