Yes it is the Probus Club Wendy.
And yes Stanley he did mention the Arley seam.
It was a really interesting talk and given very well. It was the first of four, I think the second one is next year, shame it’s not earlier. It was well worth the trip over.

Yesterday we had rain part way through the afternoon, apart from that the day was okay. This morning the sky is looking very dark towards Blackburn, although we have sunshine still I don’t think it will last.

Today we are going to Barnoldswick again for another talk, Burnley Coal Mines, 10.30 at St Joseph’s Community Centre.

Well, been for a walk and it’s clouding over, occasional sharp breeze, but it’s tolerable.

It’s grand out today, light cloud, sunning, little to no breeze and warmth. Bliss.

More sunning and warmer, summer is coming.

Just down the road from where Uncle Jm lives. We had an engagement party there in 1973. Good to see they are still dong well.

It’s been expanded over the last few years, and now has a lovely cavernous bar area.

Yesterday we went to the Italian Orchard in Broughton, lovely meal with friends, can’t recommend the place enough. It was very busy, on a Thursday, which shows its popularity, and a variety of age groups.

Sunning again.

Bright sunning today, surprising how fast it’s brought the leaves out on the trees.

Are they for knocking in between mortar on a wall to hang a plumb line from?

It made me laugh

Well so much for the acceptable temperature. Been for a walk into Longridge and the wind is biting, but at least it’s fine, we can stand this.

The day has started well again, sunning with some light cloud and just a hint of a breeze. Temperature is very acceptable also.

Stanley, we have wall to wall sunning.

Re the mortician joke, I didn’t see that coming Stanley

Looks like today is going to follow yesterday, another lovely sunning day.

Last night we went to Remember Th’Imp in Barnoldswick, what a good night that was. Plenty of memories, good meat and potato pie, bar open, couldn’t have been better. Well done to the organisers , excellent job.

We have wall to wall sunning.

Oh I could just eat that Kev, sounds lovely.

Weve just had a bit of sunning but now it’s gone again.
