Why? He knows where the kitchen is doesn't he? I've seen "Goodfellas", Pasta, meatballs & sauce like Pauly used to make!

Absolutely, good piccys them & the landscape, how quintessentially Canada, all that was missing were a couple of Mounties.

Pyjamas Margaret, I don't own a any.
They used me for a model at the Helmshore textile museum.
Bye gum lass, times were hard. I had a wage rise that year, I only had to pay the boss three farthings instead of a penny to work for him.

Russell, I like your shade of lipstick it matches the pattern on the bed spread.
Anyway I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Mobertol, I like a misty morning. I`ve been to that windmill before but the sails were missing, being cleaned or repaired maybe.

1. So small its almost invisible, but I don't know what it is.
2. Last year this plant was covered in Butterflies, not a one this year.
3. Although I have never seen so many Brambles heavy with fruit.
4. Once part of the coal sidings.
5. A teasel basking in the sun.
6. Almost like magic, Cleveleys on a bracing day.
7. lets start with a sandy knee.
8. Where should I put the deckchair!
9. What just ran over my foot.
10. I just gave that a push, I ended up with Groyne strain...........sometimes I'm just too subtle even I don't get it.

I love your seaside pics - I can imagine breathing that bracing sea air!

Number 5 has a peacefulness about it.

Today in Pictures, a look around Milnshaw Park, have to say not much photographically very few flowers, not much of a view and the only people using it were people coming and going to Asda. It looks like its glory days are long gone.

First few Milnshaw, the wet bits are Hagg Lodge at the Hyndburn Road end.
