I sort of think the house was once one of Garys "where is this" on HC, but not totaly sure.

Got just one pic of Preston Marina while I was over there last night.

Mobertol the house on Davemac's photo is up for sale with Duckworths estate agent.

Today's tootle was a brief canter up the Calder.

1. The River Calder, and a factory that is still in use, Altham Oak.
2. St James Church from the far bank.
3. Same shot just a bit further up.
4. You shouldn't play with electricity near water.

Winter Wonderland Just a few randoms ... I'm tired and cold after two hours shoveling; so, screw creativity. Look on the bright side; only another four and a half months to go.

That's the good news ... bad news is: It's snowing ... and the forecast for tomorrow: Good chance of more snow

Today in Pictures was a wet and windy experience, and the weather was not much better either.

1. Not a full walk around the park (Oak Hill), just the rockery from the main gate.
2. Its all a bit muggy really.
3. Aiming for the sky.
4. It all feels a bit moist.
5. Heading back to the car.
6. Slight detour.

I have to admit it is pretty. But talk to me in February and I'll be swearing at the stuff!
Just did my driveway this morning - something went "sproing" in my back - yikes!

Sure you aren't just looking for an excuse to have a long, leisurely soak in the tub with a mega shot of Drambuie? Or better still, an injury that puts you out of the shoveling game until, let's say, next June.

Come to think of it, I'm reminded of an Andy Capp cartoon ... "Flo, you shouldn't be pushing a [snow shovel] like that. Put your back into it."
