Had heard that there was the model exposition in the sports center -one of Hyndburn Mayor's engagements for today along with a gardening show in Great Harwood and the Bash allotments show. Nice to see the badminton hall again -used to play there many a moon ago -looks like it was a really good display -great attention to detail in the models. Used to go through Lime Street Station very often as a student!

No.1 Looking down from the balcony.
No.2 Wishful thinking.
No.3 Station that never was. (I think).
No.4 Liverpool Lime street station.
No.5 Ditto.
No.6 An American paper mill model rail yard.
No.7 Proper smoke from model shop fire.
No.8 Another busy station.
No.9 The big layout was controlled from this panel and run to a strict schedule.
No.10 Part of the big layout.

If you look closely at the last picture you can see the effort the modellers have put in to get it as authentic as possible.
Notice the policeman frisking the chap outside the cannabis cafe, in the window of the Wilkinsons Hi Fi shop at the end there were two tiny model TV's flickering away in the window.

I was lucky that I always carry my little pocket camera with me.

An interesting set of pictures, the more you look at them the more you see.

Took me while this morning to go through the thread to catch up -many "likes" pressed. Hope to have some of my own ready to post soon from my recent hols in the UK. So sorry I didn't pick up about the walk along Bash lines with Jen, Dave and Gremlin in time -nice to see some pics of you all at last though. All looking really well. I especially liked seeing how Dave gets down to take his close-ups of funghi. Perhaps the next group walk could involve some water so we could see him in his favourite medium too ;) :D

Photos from a recent trip to Manchester -I loved the mix of old and new buildings. Just a taste of what I saw -from the Corn Exchange to the Royal Exchange Theatre, Piccadilly and some very old pubs -moved to the center from elsewhere, to the town hall and the John Rylands Library among others. Was very impressed haven't been back to Manchester since 1982!

Today in Pictures,there is every possibility that today I will get my liberty bodice wet, which makes the rubber buttons go all out of shape.

1. Thats the general direction, Churn Clough Reservoir, I tend to be drawn to water.
2. You can see the "Ossy"turbines from here.
3. With my back to the hill you can see Dean Clough just to the right in the distance.
4. Churn Clough Reservoir, we are taking a big arc to get there.
5. You can just see a band of rain travelling in this direction, perhaps a onesie was not a good idea.
6. Why is it sunny over there and about to open up here?
7. Here you can see the rain falling on Huncoat, to the left of that is Hapton Scouts, and the quarry.
8. That band of rain just passed over, and now I have moist places.
9. I bet fairies live up there.
10. Back up the hill, it put my lamps out, so a short stop whilst my lungs catch up with my body.

I have plans to go up to Stocks reservoir soon Dianne, there is enough water there to keep Dave happy for months, he would be in his glory getting his gusset, corsets and any other unmentionable he cares to wear wet/damp.
I don't mind company but would rather not have a dog in the car and Dave always has Bob with him.

if anybody fancies a ride out with me send me a PM.
I would probably be out about two hours and the trips on me.

What time are you going to Rammy Jen?
I am hoping to catch the ten AM train from Rawtenstall.
I am going to the Transport show at the East Lancs Railway Museum at Bury.
It's easy to park at Rawtenstall and use one of the complimentary rail tickets we used to get when June had the guide dog puppies.

I have to take my rollers out and brush my golden locks, wipe off my face cream and apply my make up. Then find a freshly washed and iron shirt and don my best gillie suit. I must try to look beautiful in case some sneaky girl with a dog takes my picture and puts it on the Web.

As promised, photos from the East lancs railway Museum and the car show on the station car park.

No.1 Station Clock at Bury.
No.2 Old Rawtenstall bus.
No.3 A Ford Consul flanked by a pair of Zodiacs.
No.4 Penny Farthing.
No.5 Ford Squire, I always thought they were Esquires, maybe he lost a letter.
No.6 An old hoist, man powered.
No.7 Know in the trade as the governors balls, it regulates the steam to the engine to keep a steady speed.
No.8 View from the cab of a DMU. Can you see my baldy head in the reflection.
No.9 Bond Bug.
No.10 Signs from the old stations and signal boxes.

Plenty photos where they came from and not a shillelagh in sight to take a picture of me in my Sunday best.

3. Elder Berries, and a good crop as well.
4. Pendle Hill in the distance.
5. Back on the path.
6. Time for a moment.
7. This time Pendle Hill from Martholme Lane.

10. Almost back to the car, and in the distance the "Ossy" turbines.

The reflection was accidental Turtle. Someone helped the man to get on the penny farthing but he just sort of stopped and hopped off it.

Anyway a few more from Bury Station for the lovers of proper cars from yesteryear.

No.1 Austin 18 from about 1937
No.2 Standard ten
No.3 Big Austin Healey, my dream car.
No.4 Daimler Dart. Pretty rare nowadays.
No.5 Red car, someone help me out, what is it?
No.6 Morris 8 probably pre war.
No.7 Morris 8 post war.
No.8 DMU, headboard says "Dyce" it's a long way from home. It was the next train to Rawtenstall but had to go to Heywood first so being a bit weary I got on it and had a longer ride. All on a complimentary ticket June had from the Guide Dog days.
No.9 Old advertising board and rail-side distance marker to somewhere.

I know what you mean about the Austin Healey. I saw one this summer in red and black. I was mightily impressed, until the owner drove away, grinding the gears as he did so! Poor car.

Today in Pictures, started as a walk to find signs of Autumn, turned into a walk on the wet side.

1. Within sight of the Dunkenhalgh Hotel.
2. Heading for the river.
3. Found it, slight Autumn colour.
4. The bank here is constantly being washed away, so the shape is never the same on this walk.
5. If you are not past the lace holes, you are not doing it properly.
6. A bit of colour here.
7. Here we go again.
8. You might as well keep wading through it.
9. The Motorway is just through the trees.
10. Another section of the banking that moves with the water flow.

Holden Clough has changed so much I dont recognise it, when I went there it was just a wood shed, and the setup was more like an allotment.

Today in Pictures, up one side and down the other.

1. The Wharf.

3. Under the bridge on Whalley Road, if I fall in it's home for and early bath.
4. Looking back at the bridge and the Conservative club.
5. Thats the direction we are going.
6. Coming up the turnaround point, Pilkington Bridge.
7. What do you mean, tired, we have just set off.
8. Down the other side, Pendle in the distance.
9. Just a bit further down.
10. To finish,a bee.

It really is lovely now and thriving - the son took over and has won all sorts of awards and grants. He won some BBC thing which has given him a lot of pubblicity. Worth a visit.
Some of the locals aren't too happy about the amount of traffic passing through -got talking to one lady (who lived in the second house I photographed). It is giving quite a lot of employment to locals though which is a saving grace to these tiny places which might just die out or become commuter belts - you can't have it both ways!

Thanks DM, the underwater pics were just a disposable, cost £12 + developing, then scanned at work today. OK in shallow water, the pics taken in deeper water didn`t come out too good.
The slides were great fun.

Today in pictures, a day when wet socks could not be avoided.

1. Start point, they will soon remove that signal box as they streamline the service.
2. Not much floral colour at the moment, a Trefoil.
3. Things you could eat, I'm not saying you should, but you could, although I don't know if Clover is edible.
4. Chamomile.
5. Common Toadflax.
6. Looking back down the site, and time to head back.
7. Sea Aster.
8. Although not the best shot of droplets I have taken, but one of the first droplet snaps I took was of a Clover leaf, and this was a slippy slide into the world of wet socks and moist gussets.
9. I know its wet, we are going home soon.
10. A spiders trap in a Burnet.

A look round Little Salkeld Watermill which is fully restored and is still milling organic flour and cereals in the traditional way. The miller very kindly posed while working for my photos! We bought some of the flour he milled and packed -it was still warm from the friction of the millstones -made some fantastic pizza! Lots of interesting corners for photographers too -so well worth a visit if you're ever up in Cumbria. The Watermill | Little Salkeld Watermill

8. Although not the best shot of droplets I have taken, but one of the first droplet snaps I took was of a Clover leaf, and this was a slippy slide into the world of wet socks and moist gussets.
9. I know its wet, we are going home soon.
10. A spiders trap in a Burnet.

Then it truly was a lucky clover, for we've enjoyed the results of all your wet moments since :)

If you go onto the link I've posted about the place there is an excellent film which shows you all about the people who took the mill on and restored it -they chose the colours! They also show how it all works interspersed with other details about the history of the place, their products and the people who work there. Worth watching -you can see just how noisy the machinery is!

Lots of interesting corners for photographers too -so well worth a visit if you're ever up in Cumbria. The Watermill | Little Salkeld Watermill


A great location, the cogs and gears are very interesting.

Its an interesting walk, and the area behind the reservoir is a fungi photographers dream, there must be over 20 different types, although on first glance you would not notice them. The waterfall most of the time is a tame affair, but when there has been heavy rain it get noisy and spectacular amounts of water come over that edge. The stream that feeds Jackhouse Reservoir. 4. of 5 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! have had to post a link as my ration for today has been used up.

Just out of interest, what would happen if you were to post another set of pics after you`ve used up your ration for the day? And when was this ration set and by whom? I haven`t seen anything in the site rules about posting too many pics in one day, but maybe I missed it.

Dont get down without first working up to it, try bending over, then on one knee, then then you have got the hang of it, flat out. Then you have to try it in various wet conditions, but do it in secluded spots first.

A selection of photos from a day out at Patterdale Country show. Events with sheep trials, judging of breeds, dog show and also judging of beautiful hand-made shepherd's crooks. Was a great day out and my god-daughter Ana with Patch, a tri-colour American Cocker Spaniel, won the dog show. Her best friends Sophie and Charlotte with Fizz, a beagle won another category so they were all happy and spent the £3 prize on some treats for the dogs! All the girls and the 2 dogs in the photo with the judge -a Cumbria TV presenter. The boy with the carved "trout" stick had made it himself! Unfortunately we missed the Cumberland wrestling -will be for next year!

I had arranged to go to the Lorry show at the Museum at Leyland today and as it is outside I wasn't looking forward to wandering around in the rain.
I took an old Olympus camera to save ruining one of my better ones and managed one or two outside shots, the others were taken inside the museum.

No.1 Old Morris A.A, van.
No.2 Little Morris eight, Don Frazer inside owns it and also the Holmeswood coaches you see around.
No.3 I drove a few of these Bedford RL's in the army.
No.4 Even Rolls Royce's get wet.
No.5 Time to go inside now, it's too wet. Albion, motto sure as the sunrise, see the sunrays on the radiator.
No.6 I saw these in the workshop, lain undiscovered for years and just been cleaned up, they sell for over twenty quid on ebay.
No.7 The seat in the actual Popemobile, used when he visited Lancashire.
N0.8 You don't see many of these on the streets nowadays.
N0.9 Hello ducky.
No.10 My old mate Clifford grabbed me to dance infront of the organ with him, we drew a crowd and finished up with a few more people in the line up.

Not the best day out taking photos but it was better than sitting at home watching the rain run down the windows.

1. Its raining over there, how do I know......its raining here as well.
2. Pendle is often in the distance, unless you are facing the other way, then its not.
3. The trees that line the river.
4. Water Mint, growing in the stream.
5. The River Calder.
6. So here I am in an empty field on my hands and knees taking a snap, just as I finish I turn around and a lady is passing with her dog.
7. Dean Brook as it passes under Clapper Bridge.
8. The River Calder at the point where Dean Brook joins the flow.
9. On the way back, the sky still looks full.
10. The weather briefly takes a turn to the sunny.

The weather has been too bad for me to get out with the camera but I did manage one shot with the camera poking through the patio doors.
I didn't use a tripod either so the beer must be weak tonight.

Nice moon shot! We don't do much better with all the fancy do-dads.

1. Its raining over there, how do I know......its raining here as well.
2. Pendle is often in the distance, unless you are facing the other way, then its not.
3. The trees that line the river.
4. Water Mint, growing in the stream.
5. The River Calder.
6. So here I am in an empty field on my hands and knees taking a snap, just as I finish I turn around and a lady is passing with her dog.
7. Dean Brook as it passes under Clapper Bridge.
8. The River Calder at the point where Dean Brook joins the flow.
9. On the way back, the sky still looks full.
10. The weather briefly takes a turn to the sunny.

Beautiful country, even in the rain. I bet the lady with the dog was impressed with your Hokey Cokey technique :)

She was to polite to say, but her dog ran over and almost knocked me over.

Yesterday a visit to the Holy land of Brewerists (Burton-on Trent) National brewery Museum.:D

Replicated Brew room, Carts & Drays, "Joe" (he likes his polos), "No, put him back he won't fit in the car!", the mechanised 'Oss, an Edwardian bar & finally some Brewers signage. :)

Included in the price was "free Supping", Okay, maybe not quite an orgy of Ale, but the option of 4 quarter pints of selected brews, or 2 halves, or a pint of a chosen tipple, sadly I had to decline being a driverist.
