Today was more of a ricochet walk, I was walking a bit of the priests walk, then a bit of the Woodlands, but I had no specific route just bouncing about.

Difficult subject matter, but important to remember what happened here.

I'd agree with that statement & also the reason why the photographs taken were very selective.

This is probably one for the 'boys'.
Today I took Spindles on a day out ...to Manchester...the Museum of Science and Industry.
When I asked him what kind of day he had....he said it was 'amazing'.
So have a look at some of these pictures.
1) Spindles...in a perspex structure on the walk to the museum.
2) Him again in from of a big plane.
3) A little Kamikaze plane.......you could nearly get that in your handbag.
4) a wheelchair motorbike....who knew one of those existed.
5) An experimental Jet
6) another airy fairy plane...come on....don't ask me technical stuff...I'm female!
7) A steam engine ...cut away to show its gizzards...the internal workings...pipes and things
8) The Muriel(yes I know it is a mural) on the outside of the museum.
9) The footplate of a big black steam engine.
10) this is the big black steam engine that the footplate belongs to

More from yesterdays jaunt.
1) this is from a Leonardo Da Vinci design.....basically a large kite.
2) a bright yellow airy fairy plane.
3) details about the yellow plane.
4) A modern kitchen
5) an even more modern kitchen...look they have a dishwasher
6) We used to have a telly like that...by the time it warmed up the progam was over. (this room had not seen a yellow duster or Mr Sheen for a long time...it was proper mucky)
7) First class carriage.

We walked 10km yesterday and Spindles fell asleep on the bus back home...he said I had walked his legs off.

A walk around Castle Clough, a touch early for any Spring flowers, but moist moments in abundance.

10cm You are lucky ... we got only five. Your iPad must be one of those cheap Australian knock-offs.

Got another few cm today, but it won't last long. As for my iPad, it's the real article, but for some reason photos flip upside like that when uploading to Accyweb. This time I thought I would be smart, and edited the photo to be upside down before uploading it, but to no avail

That just goes to prove that technology confounds common sense.
