A drive belt stud or rivet?

I'm guessing that it's a stud of some sort, large and decorative, possibly from a leather garment or boots?

Sad news, another constant in our lives from teenage years onwards.

You caught me out there Tripps, Col was born in Warrington so perhaps he is more Lancashire than Cheshire.

Yes I use nesh, but I think I might have picked it up from Col who is from Cheshire.

It looks very much like the Holy Well outside Thornton in Craven Church.

Tomorrow I'll be watching out for a possible fly over by the Battle of Britain Flight Lancaster. Its due at Newby Hall near Ripon between 2 and 2.30, then Accrington between 2.30 and 3.00, so every chance it could come this way.

It's worth adding here that the mill which burnt down in 1812 and was offered for sale with a new 30ft wheel in 1814 was Earby Mill and not Booth Bridge. There were failed attempts to spin cotton at Earby and the mill disappeared from history before the 1820s. Remnants of the dam remain in the Earby...

Stephanie told us that she couldn't find out much about Elslack, but the book is absolutely packed with information!

Sounds good Kev!

My car is also getting an MOT today, Col spent a large part of yesterday doing a bit of fettling underneath it.

Hope you have a wonderful time Ian. Watch out for Sally, don't let her wander off too far!!

The sun is warm but the strong breeze is chilly. We are expecting showers this morning, hopefully nothing like yesterday when we had a torrential shower almost out of the blue. I was trying to get all my grass cut, felt a few drops of rain just before 3pm and decided it was time to retreat for a cup...

Having read through the topic once again I see that Stephen mentions the Lothersdale programme from the 1970s. The video is now on You Tube.

A picture hook?

Me too Cathy, only I get img rather than a question mark.

We had a visitor from Ireland earlier this year who ended up in A & E with a viral lung infection, at first they thought he might have had a heart attack because of markers in his blood.

That's reassuring news Kev.

Im pleased to report that my rainwater storage tanks have refilled. I use the water in the polytunnel and they were almost empty after the long dry period.

My brother and my nephew had heart attacks in their early 40s, both very fit and active and both recovered well. Different possible causes but the onset linked to stress at work in both cases.

That's shocking news Kev, frightening for everyone concerned. I hope he makes a quick recovery.

I first came across it in a letter written to my dad from his sister in Bradford, during the war. She is telling him about everyday life at home and that she has been helping Mum by twining the washing. It took me a while to work out what she meant.

Reading that article has caused my brain to burn out and fail completely. What????

I vaguely remember seeing this one before, are they working on a borehole?
