Re: Today in pictures
 

Wanted to go to Leeuwarden AFB Air display today, headed over there & the weather was atrocious for flying displays & the hassle & stress to get to the show ....... nightmare, so we went across to Harlingen instead. After a wander round the town we came back over leeuwarden & managed to snag a few snaps.

Sailing ships off the coast of Harlingen in the haze - Witch & the Bitch at the Beach, Harlingen - Harlingen rail terminal, harbour & lighthouses - "Fat Albert" (Hercules C130) heading to the display - F16 "Fighting Falcons" over the coast - PAF (Patrouillie Acrobatique de France) flying Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jets doing their thing - B-25 Mitchell Bomber of (x2) - (A very hazy & heat distorted) Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

What a cute little thing.

Re: Today in pictures
 

finally ... sorted the accy food festival out .. :D i'll put the battle ones up tomorrow ... :D

Re: Today in pictures
 

If you bought a "Bratty" at that Bratty stand you were robbed! 4 quid for a Bratty! Absolutely shocking! You can get a "Curry & chips" with Mayo or Ketchup for €4.50 here. :D

Re: Today in pictures
 

don't worry dave .. I didn't ... and neither did the spugster either ..:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

You can't be serious .... :eek: You guys aren't civilized ... The ultimate in real, post-boozing comfort food is Poutine:theband:



The Hunt For Kingston?s Best: Poutine - Kingston, Ontario

Re: Today in pictures
 

heres the battle ones ... at the accy food festival ..

Re: Today in pictures
 

The "Curry" is short for Currywurst, a Bratty sliced & smothered in curry ketchup with a dusting of curry powder & the "Mayo" is nothing like your Hellmans. Surprisingly, it all works rather well. :D

As to this Poutine malarkey, I'd probably give it a go after a few scoops! ;)

Today's walkies

Re: Today in pictures
 

A few pics of a bee that was hanging around the back garden.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great action shots Jen :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

A few random shots taken during my stay on Anglesey.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today I was noticing how green it all was, then I noticed how wet it was as well, a moist Hameldon Woods.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely shots Russell.
I love Anglesey.
Did you get a chance to visit Plas Newydd....the residence of the Marquess of Angelsey.
The house is fantastic and has a good exhibition of militaria from the Napoleonic wars....and the Battle of Waterloo.
The Marquis of Angelsey from that time, lost a leg at the battle of Waterloo and he was the first man in the world to have an articulated prosthetic leg....wooden of course.
There is also a fantastic trick of the eye mural by Rex Whistler.
The gardens are beautiful and the views from the grounds are spectacular.

I should tell you that I don't get paid for promoting the place :)......I just love it!

Re: Today in pictures
 

We never got to see Plas Newydd Margaret but it's on the agenda for the next visit first week in September. My friend's brother lives on Angelsey and we have an open invitation to stay anytime.
He's part way through restoring and old house he lives in. It is a fantastic place with sea views. We got around a lot though and had good weather.
We will be back at Bourne next week until we feel like coming back. Once her house there is sold that will be the last time we go there.
That's the view from our bedroom at her brothers, next to my car is an area which hasn't been gravelled yet and in front of that is the start of the summer house.

Re: Today in pictures
 

glad to hear it is on your list of things to see and do......it is well worth a visit.
I hope that someday I will get back there because there are so many pics that i would like to get.
it is an amazing place.......and lucky you with an open invitation to visit at anytime.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Not been up to much on my time off work. Just enjoying not being there! I am on my second week off....

1-5 Went to Blackpool on my birthday to see how my longtime friend is doing. Hes been in rehab for quite some time and was just released into supported housing. Don't want to get into too much detail about that, other than it was great for me and my friends to get together and all be sober and enjoy each others company. We went to fleetwood where i snapped a few....

6 Visited another friend to help with his computer. This is his dog Benji. Love this little dude!

7-8 Well what to say. It has been incredibly humid and I left my window open all night. Looked up at the window this morning and saw this!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I can see why you could fall for Benji....he is cute.
Belated Birthday greetings too. Hope you had a good day doing things you enjoyed.

I was tempted to say that the snail would have been good cooked with garlic.....but I couldn't ever bring myself to eat one.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Definitely not!!! A friend of mine once ate a live slug for a dare/bet found out years later just how dangerous that was


And thanks :D

Re: Today in pictures
 

All of these places bring back some very happy memories for me.
Thank you Russell for taking me down memory lane.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A floral walk around Huncoat Pit.

Re: Today in pictures
 

And thank you MARGARET for your kind words.
I'll sort ten more out for you if I get time tomorrow.
I was told cameras were not allowed at Penrhyn castle so left the big DSLR back at Marlene's brothers. Then when we got there they said it was OK if we didn't use flash. I had a pocket Panasonic with me but it had to have a slow shutter speed to get pictures in the gloom. A lot were a bit out of focus. I'll know next time.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I will look forward to that Russell.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some pics from a drive to Airdrie today, last two from walking Daisy.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a very popular walk, the Coppice.

Re: Today in pictures
 

How's Duke getting on?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I was thinking about him too when I saw the pictures.
I hope he is recovering well.

Re: Today in pictures
 

He's fine thanks, can only go on boring walks for now though, got to keep his stitches clean and dry.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Good to hear he is doing well.....boring walks are better than no walks. :)

Young lass had fallen of her horse The air ambulance was circling for a bit before it landed then it landed on the beach were the lifeguard was treating her along with the paramedics from the ambulance.

Today was a walk down to Shoe Mill via 5 Arches as was.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I haven't been down there since i was a kid

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its on my list of places, this time I found the foundations of the Smallpox Hospital on my way back up.

A dry walk there and a wet walk back, Millennium Baby Woods.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Beautiful!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Is Duke out and about now?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Firstly, I'd like to say that I've been following the Referendum with great interest, and while I don't feel qualified to weigh in on the subject, I feel proud of the outcome and the courage of my Accrington friends, however they voted.
I have great hopes for the future.

Now in an effort to catch up, I'd like to post a few snaps over the next few days. Summer has come to my part of the world like a switch has been turned on. We warmth-starved Canucks have gone a little mad. These are from my garden, and the surrounding area. Miss Pris has to come into it at some point, of course :) Also the Celebration of my Aunt's Life was held in a perfect summer day this June. She always took bad weather as a personal affront, so for her day to have had fair weather was wonderful. The box held her favourite sweets: Licorice Allsorts.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great pics ... love that cat ... she looks as if she is plotting to take over this spiral arm of the galaxy ... cats think big.:D

I remember my grandad used to sing that song for my gran and me. Her name was Sarah, by the way (altho' she always went by "Sally") And half way thru he always added "Eee by gum she's a champion."

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, he had his first off lead walk yesterday, just along the canal, not too far, he was hobbling a bit by the end though but he`ll be OK.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It is so good to hear he is on the mend.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The pictures of the strawberry jam made my mouth water.
I am not a lover of strawberries, but I love home made strawberry jam.....and I usually buy a jar if I get to a farmers market.
Glad you are getting some sunshine....the flowers look lovely too.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A couple of times a year, I try to get up to Ottawa to visit my Mum, sister and nieces. Sister lives right on the Ottawa river, and has all the toys to go out on the water. I prefer to stay on land, but just to sit by a large body of water always has its appeal for me.

My Mum's pup Lexi is the cutest little thing, but is proving to be a handful. At 86, I think my Mum forgot what a challenge it can be to train a young dog, but so far she's managing.

Leaving Lexi at home, I took my Mum on a jaunt to a nearby town called Almonte. It has a wonderful main street full of interesting shops and cafes. It's so nice to see old buildings being re-purposed but their charm intact :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely pictures Carolyn.

I love number three....it gives the impression of serenity.
Picture 6 reminds me of the up country town in Oz where my sister in law lived.....quaint and beautiful, with the iron lacework on the buildings.
I would love to live by the sea. (Yes, I know that yours are taken by a lake)I got second best.....the canal.

Re: Today in pictures
 

the spugster infamous .. hes made google maps!!! :D the rest are from my garden .. and sunsets ..

Re: Today in pictures
 

Tonights walkies down to the river.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Dukes finally been given the all clear by the vets yesterday and is now OK to get wet and dirty, so took him for his first decent walk since his injury, he still has a bit of a limp but I think this will go in time.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Also, if I may, a big thumbs up to Mearleys Vets who have been brilliant.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Glad he's able to do the normal doggy things....like get wet and muddy.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Fossicking around the rifle range.

Re: Today in pictures
 

pictures are from the falling that was on in oakhill park on Thursday night ... well done to all who took part and arranged it ...

Re: Today in pictures
 

There were some brilliant ideas to mark the day.
I liked that there were actors dressed as WW1 soldiers in Manchester....not speaking and giving passers by cards with a name of a fallen soldier on it.
A bit like ghosts from the past.
I watched a lot of the ceremony from the Thiepval Memorial....it gave me goosebumps.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Just a few bird pics from yesterday.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Didn`t expect to get any pics tonight, was expecting lots of rain but it never came so managed a few.

1-3. Daisy & Duke.
4. I thought I`d have another go at panning, this is from a fair way away, looks like I caught a tailgater.
5. Looks like we have a local Kestrel, second sighting in a week.
6. Leaks fixed, can I go home now?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today a walk from Altham Lane up to the marina and back, with the required deviations along the way.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I really like number 4 :)
Is that calamari on the plate?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I love the droplets, and number 9 is a great shot (you must have got up close and personal with those cobbles Hahhah)
Numbers 8 and 10 particularly interest me, as I can just see the lodge that I could have drowned in back when I was a lass! I don't recall the ruined building though, as I rarely ventured beyond Nelson's farm, now a riding school I believe.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It rained earlier in the day so it was a droplet frenzy, there are more pictures on FB which may give a detailed overview of the lodge. The old barn possibly had a roof on in your time, there as there is evidence of a fire on the door lintel, so this I guess brought the roof down, and this became the start of the deterioration, there was another farm house and shippon attached just a field away which this year became subject to restoration, it now has a bright red roof on.

Re: Today in pictures
 

For Davemac: I love number 10. The guys in number 7 remind me of a phenomenon I see daily in my local Tim Hortons: groups of men if a certain age gathering together for a good old gossip! I call it 'geezer's corner' - a chance to get away from the women-folk is how it appears to me :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great views :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Number 10 is one of those wet moments, for my boots at least, the group you see are stood there on a regular basis they walk the Coppice daily and always stop at that point for a "fag" they were that engrossed in conversation they didn't become aware of me until I had passed them. It might not be a chance to get away from the women folk, more they are sent out to play whilst the women get their jobs done.
