Today in Pictures, a walk I have not done for some time, a shame as it is a nice pleasant walk, with lots of wet bits.

1. A herd of ducklets.
2. Woody Nightshade, right on the edge of the canal.
3. Thistle do for a start.
4. These were too tame for there own safety.
5. Some people think the halfway point on the Leeds Liverpool is in Clayton, its not, its here in Church. you can see a line in the cobbles that gives the exact halfway point.
6. Down by the River Hyndburn, a peaceful stroll, despite the motorway just a stones throw away.
7. The river has just passed under the motorway.
8. The Dunkenhalgh Hotel is just off to the left.
9. A guzzle of caterpillars feeding on nettles.
10. Almost out of the woods, and time for the walk up the main road and home.

I actually went back to look at the photo of Less - he "almost" (and I stress "almost") looks handsome :eek::D Must be the beard...

On a sign behind him it says Flemish stew and chips -now what would a Flemish stew be made of?

That's some herd...a very prolific duck!

Flemish stew - Carbonnades Flamandes - beef slow cooked in dark Belgian beer with onions, often with mstard croutons on top. Delicious - Flemish cuisine is some of the best there is - try Chicken Waterzooi too - This dish contains chicken, leeks, onion and celery, which is thickened by cream and egg yolks. Mouth's watering already!

I know Carbonnades as I make it using Delia Smith's recipe - didn't realise it was alternatively known as Flemish stew! Haven't heard of the other recipe though -sounds good. Been through Beligium very little, usually travelling and not to visit there, always had Moules Frites

Yes I know the Delia one! We like Belgium a lot, first stayed there (Brugge) for my 50th birthday in November and it snowed! I also had flu before we went. A truly memorable break! Have stayed a few times since, once on a trip throgh to Holland which was very nice too. Much better weather (May).

My first trip abroad was to Belgium, as a teenager, also my first airline trip. My aunt married a Belgian and we went to visit them, can't remember much about it, such a long time ago! She is still there but doesn't like it, but as she is over 80 I guess she will be staying.

Today in Pictures, it looks like rain.

1. Looking over the top of Huncoat toward Pendle.
2. Same direction, but higher up the hill.
3. One minute I have this corner of the Coppice to myself, then whoosh a jiggle of joggers.
4. With my back to the bypass looking toward the turbines.
5. It must have rained earlier.
6. Thats Moleside.
7. I can't walk passed a droplet.
8. The dark clouds are moving quickly overhead.
9. Accy with the sun moving over the town like a searchlight.
10. Cloudscape.

Today in Pictures, a short walk around Huncoat Colliery.

1. Whalley Nab to the left , Pendleton Moor to the right.
2. Same view from a bit further round, the hills in the distance are a bit clearer here.
3. Another chance to see the Orchid.
4. The 5 spot Burnet Moth.
5. It must be the time they morph into moths, the fields were alive with them.
6. Goats beard seed head, its the size of a tennis ball to give it some perspective.
7. Pendle Hill in the distance..
8. Time to head back, the grass and stuff is at head height in some places, well it is for me as I am a short house.

No not built it yet, but I dd spend a lot of time in Accy Library, reading the Chetham Soc; books, and I can remember a lot of what I read. The Cunliffes came from the Whalley Area a place called Cunny Cliffe, they spread out from there and married into a family who lived at Woodhead, also referred to as Woodnook, the site is very near Hollins School. First read about this some 60 years ago.
Any one interested in Local History should read those books, they are far more accurate than any of the crap Ainsworth has come out with.
