Today in Pictures, A slight departure from my parks quest, Huncoat Colliery site. Just bought my wife a new fridge freezer, you should have seen her little face light up when she opened the door.

1. Not the colliery, the Pals this morning, slight diversion.
2. Its the 2.05 to Colne.
3. As they say, you have to be in it to wet it.
4. The bed of this stream is covered in shale rock, fracking?
5. What are you two looking at.
6. Devils bit Scabious, I'm sure I got that as a child.
7. Almost at the turn around point.
8. I think its a Hawkbit.
9. I think I just heard a Lion.
10. That one is going in the opposite direction, and now time for a brew and a fig newton, or possibly a garibaldi.

No great skill involved, It made it easy by hovering in the Ferries wake. Mind you, it helps when someone's holding a Bun or a pie in their mitts nearby.

I am not a sporty person so didn't really give them much attention, if it wasn't for the dads shouting "KICK IT" from the sidelines I wouldn't really have paid much attention.

The Mosque has been there for a long while now, not in it's present state. It has been rebuilt. My Auntie lives on Richmond Hill Street and she can hear them being called to prayer. It is on the corner of Fountain Street

Can`t have been Rishton then, they`d have been shouting kick him.

What a weird morning.

Today I decided to get on the train to Burnley Central.

The Train stopped at the Burnley Manchester Road station and readied I myself to get off at central station. Quite some time passed and what was with all the scenery? Oops. I then realised that I had got on the wrong train.

Where do I end up? Hebden Bridge. I decided to have a walk around Hebden and wow what a beautiful town it is. Opted out of walking back to the train station and after all you cannot get the train to the central station in Burnley from Hebden and I didn't feel like walk across Burnley.

Took the bus from Hebden. Only for it to break down outside of Todmorden. Had to wait 30-45 mins for another bus to come along. Finally I made it to Burnley. Quick stop at PC World and back to Accy. Bumped into my mum and after seeing her on the bus I then bumped into my Dad going into GiftPrint.

Anyway. I took some photos.

Is it me or is everyone getting better at taking pics?

Have enjoyed looking at them all - for me ChurchFc -No 6 is the winner in the B'pool shots. Love Jen's silhouettes, Turtles reflections, DiG's L'pool and the gull, Max's selections and Dave's -like Turtle I tried to photograph a 'shroom this weekend with Dave in mind - not up to scratch though I will post it! We did eat them by the way and I'm still alive to tell the tale

Was away for the weekend for a wedding -photos of that tomorrow.
Today's will be of yesterday's walk around the Ticino Park at Torre D'Isola showing the woodlands, river and rice fields before and after harvesting!

1 Bersaglieri playing at the supermarket in Pavia where we went to buy a few things in the morning (my batteries ran out -just the one shot!)
2/3 Torre Disola and Villa Botta Adorna which is haunted! This is where we stayed overnight.
4 The River Ticino
5 Typical managed Poplar woodland of the area
6 Rice field ready to be harvested
7 Mature rice plants (Arborio rice for making risotto)
8 Bee hives in mixed woodland -spot the cyclist!
9 Looking back over the rice fields to the woods
10 Friends Germana and Annisa who were walking with me - and the mushrooms we found!
