Well no....two spooky moons. Not the best quality despite using the monopod. I need more practice. :D |

So finally our journey comes to an end with a final jaunt to that Cockerney Eldorado of "Sarfend on sea mate!" with its most unmissable delicacies of jellied eels, winkles & whelks :sick:enough said! So on with the piccys.
The jewel in the Cockerny tarnished crown, Southend on sea - Folks enjoying the mild Autumn temperatures - A couple of shrimpers tandem trawling - Really, down to the end of the pier? all one & a quarter mile of it! Actually walking? Proper one foot in front of the other type walking? - Benches, lots of benches, definitely needed after that hike! - Southend Lifeboat station at the watery end of the pier - One little cheeky stone turner amongst hoards of the little beggars - So why didn't we use this to get here then? - Back to Harwich & our ride back to Europe & Germingland - On board, a time to reflect, relax & sink a scoop or several. :) |

The gardens of Palazzo Pfanner in Lucca - tucked away just inside the town walls a little gem of a garden. Italianate in style - quite simple but striking for the lemon trees and the lemon houses which are built into the mediaeval walls where the plants spend the winter months. In one photo the single gardener who is responsible for them - very friendly man - seen talking to my aunt and uncle in photo 8 - near a storage area which he told us was the original brewery of the Pfanner family in the early 1800's. Pfanner is still a make of Italian beer. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves for an hour of perfect peace before a group arrived and the walls also filled up with tourists as you can see in the last photo.

Re: Today in pictures
wouldn't that be a beautiful place to have a wedding...what fantastic pictures you would get for your album.
There are aspects of your pictures which remind me of Portmeirion Dianne...and I just love that place. It is hard to believe that it is the end of October when you look at the rose bush. |
Re: Today in pictures
Have a trip to Portmeirion on me Dianne.

Today in Pictures, I knew where I wanted to visit today, but only had 30 minutes to achieve it. So it was straight to the site, work the area photographically, and leg it back to the car.
1. Along the canal, you can see the gasometer, upper centre, in Gt. Harwood. 2. The destination, what was once a workers community, my guess would be weavers before the industry was centralised. 3. Just around the bend is a small boatyard, but we are going sharp right. 4. Little remains after progress swept them into history. 5. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of clogs on floorboards. 6. This region is peppered with these small hamlets that are disintegrating. 7. Today we will go through the square window. 8. Time is almost up. 9. Last shot of these buildings. 10. I bet once someone would have been very house-proud here. |

There are places to stay in the actual village, but it is expensive...but for a wedding or special anniversary, it would be just perfect. I am glad you enjoyed the virtual visit. |
