Jen, those cakes on the patisserie stall...well, they look delicious. I am glad I didn't go to the food fair.....the temptation might just have been too much for me.
I still haven't had any cake...so the longing is still with me.

My day in pictures post is also bringing to your attention the Accrington Welfare for the blind society.
No 1. Equipment for the visually impaired at Bank Street.
No 2. Our newly refurbished social room which we have named after Ken Hargreaves who was out "hands on" president up to his death.
No 3. A customer having a scanner/reader demonstrated.
No 4 and 5. Our new book shop in the Arndale selling books donated and the proceeds to go to the Blind Society.
No 6 and 7. I try to take a photo of a customer each week and pin it up calling it " Customer of the week", if your face appears there is a spare copy available.
Today was the day I decided to tiptoe around the turbines, and do you know whilst I was there not one turbine rotated, it was only when I had finished and was heading for the car that I heard them starting to rotate.
1. It was a day for cloudscapes, so had a play with a graduated filter.
2. Cotton Grass is punctuating the moors with a million full stops. Despite its name it is actually a sedge, and a sign that the land is more than a bit moist.
3. Standing guard over the town below.
4. Standing on the edge of the borough, down there is Rossendale.
5.This wall runs along the edge of Ossy Moors, stopping the invaders.
6. The clouds make me think I may get moist at any moment, then it dawns on me I am kneeling down in the peaty wet bits.
7. The clouds are starting to look a bit menacing.
8. This is the only tree I can see on the top of the moors for miles, I don't think it will ever get big enough to climb.
9. They are just starting to make rotation commencement noises, and as I am on my own up here(well almost) it does feel a bit spooky.
10. That is the way down to the car, and I can feel the large drops of rain hitting my ARP helmet, time to shift.
