A walk along the Leeds-Liverpool canalA walk along the Leeds-Liverpool canal. It is a magical day in December, the colours are magnificent, the usurper artist is in the lock-keeper's cottage, the divorced men are busy in their boats, the birds in the park have been ordered to number their boxes, the ferrets get to release their ferromones, and Benji gets to chase a squirrel. What could be more idyllic? And there's even a sunset to end the day . . . bliss indeed! While back in Nelson, it is as grim as ever!

Beautiful Pendle in the SnowA spectacularly beautiful walk on Jan 6 2010, the sun came out and gave pink tones to the fallen snow. A walk of about two hours yielded these unforgettable photos

A snowy walk to Noggarth TopAlong the footpath from Barrowford Old Bridge to Water Meetings, then up the hillside to the left of the river, through the woods, coming out on the tops with views over the hills. Cross the Barrowford/Roughlee road at the top and continue on to Noggarth over farmland.

The Big Snow of 5 Jan 2010After snapping the garden, got out for a walk, too late unfortunately, not much light left, but got a few good shots. You can see better quality slideshows of these pics, and some new ones not shown here, on my website www.pendlepeople.com/snowypics.htm

Shopping trolley conversionSee the amazing shopping trolley/bike trailer conversion on a test run along the canal, loaded with digging tools. Wayne is waiting on the boat to see Geraldine go by, and he interviews her about her intentions. With special effects barking by Benji.
