6 is hilarious! Did Max take it home with him? (Only trying to be helpful Dad - it's for the wood burner you know!)

It took him a while to get it balanced. Once balalnced he carried it for ages and even managed to fit through a gate with it.The final hurdle near home was a style and even he couldn't manage that.

1. my first Dandelion. on the canal bank.
2. my first Coltsfoot, on the canal banking again.
3. You get the gist, I didn't see the fly until looking at it on the computer.
4. I don't know how it survives up there.
5. The equator, often called the halfway point on the Leeds Liverpool canal.
6. Is it a crunchie, no its a melted brick from inside the coke ovens at Oswaldtwistle.
7. The blocked off spur at the "ovens".
8. One side.
9. The other.
10. The flue on the smaller section of "ovens".

Today in Pictures, Mill Lane to Martholme Lane and back again.

1. This is the walk, not much to see when there are no leaves on the trees.
2. As its Tuesday, its the turn of all the yellow flowers to come out. Coltsfoot.
3. Coltsfoot again, this time a clutch.
4. Marsh Marigold.
5. Primroses.
6. Before you know it, this will be 6 ft tall, Polygonum.
7. The turn around point, the River Calder.
8.Things got a bit weird at this point, just watching Lambs and Sheep walking loose in the lane.
9. Turned around and these were walking/running toward me, stamping their feet.
10. I got the feeling they were thinking I had one of their lambs on a lead, and they wanted it back. I found screaming like a girly made them run away.
