And as for your town centre Di, it looks nice despite the lousy weather, but there seems to be a distinct lack of bods mooching about.

It was lunch-time so the shops were closed which is why there were few people about -they close for lunch from 1 till 3-30 here and then are open till about 7 pm.

Re: Today in pictures

Short walk today - bracing winds but blue skies and sunshine. A couple of shots in the farm courtyard - featuring 3 Topcats from the large number that populate the hay barns. Then I decided to concentrate on the little collapsing bridge up the lane as I remembered Dave recently said it looked like it would be interesting to investigate. There was a nice late afternoon light and I finally managed to read the date stone which says "Ponte Comunale 1861" (Municipal Bridge 1861) - hadn't realised it was that old. I didn't need to get into the water to take the pics just beat back rather a lot of undergrowth down the other side to the path!

The bridge was worth the effort, we now know its very old, and number 5 has old bricks with a collection of plants growing in it and on top of it.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, another muddy experience, and I wont tell you what part of my body slid down a gloopy slope.

1. It's only a small stream, but a bit swollen at the moment.
2. Have to be careful, I dont want to ladder my tights.
3. Haven't a clue, just looked a good idea.
4. Signs that a colliery once thrived on this site, now forgotten brickwork.(Huncoat Colliery)
5. Bluebells growing on a steep slope.
6. Looking down to the bottom of the site.
7. I'm not supposed to climb trees.
8. There is always a fungi lurking somewhere.
9. Or perhaps two.
10. When I took this I never noticed the rainbow starting.

Love the contrast betwen the lush greens in 5 and then the browns in numbers 6 and 10 - that rainbow was hard to spot -until you mentioned it I hadn't seen it!

Re: Today in pictures

Today, an amble around the coppice.

1. Lots of tree chopping going on.
2. A view of the farm.
3. Some birds.
4. That`s not how dogs are supposed to sneak.
5. Duke having a run.
6. Playing in the stream.
7. Cobbles always look best in B&W.
8. I think I might invest in a wood burner.
9. Ever get the fealing you`re being followed.
10. Time for me to fly as well.

They`re drawn to mud, thankfully, they like water as well so they tend to clean themselves.

Beautiful buildings and townscape, even in the rain!

Lovely shots - I like the 3 cats too, and the sunshine on the bridge is a treat to see
