Very muggy today but largerly dry with cloud and some sun. Muggy evening but fine. Might be difficult to sleep tonight.

Hello or should that be g'day to you Wendy no 2. Hope you enjoy our site and like perusing it's many articles and photos. There's nearly everything you need to know about the area and further a field. Much more too. Enjoy.

Victoria Park in Nelson was badly flooded yesterday. Things getting back to normal today. A few dry days to come, hopefully.

More heavy rain tonight, a bit better tomorrow and a few dryer days to come early next week. Could be more rain after that?

Goyt and River Calder in Nelson very high this evening could be flooding ?

That's a nice, colourful photo Wendy. You are lucky to live where you do such nice views. And yes I can see what you mean - it's a bit like a rainbow in the distance.

Wendy that's dreadful. My mother is in the same position as your mum. She keeps being fobbed off by hospital eye clinic and local health centre. Optician writes to doctor, doctor dosen't receive this letter etc etc. You know the rest, you just don't get any where with these people. My mother is 90 a...

Heavy and persistant rain in Nelson this evening - thoroughly miserable all round. And more to come. Aww.

Stanley, I had a bladder infection when I was a lad from sitting on a cold, wet cycle saddle and it was "painful". I had another do in more recent times and it was very unpleasant. Very painful. But it can be cured now, thank goodness. So we know how Prince Philip feels.

Beacon on top of Pendle Hill was lit at 10.15pm. I can see it from my house.

Prince Philip taken to hospital with a bladder infection, according to tv news reports.

Wet day here in Nelson with a chilly breeze and temperature around 8c 46f. Its more like March than June.

Dark clouds over Pendle Hill and a heavy shower in Nelson. It feels a lot fresher now.

The very warm weather is on the way out now. From Thursday back to cool, cloudy weather with some rain or showers - just how I like it ! Bet you think I'm a spoil sport.

Yes, very saddened to hear of Robin Gibbs death. I loved the songs of the Bee Gees in the late 1960s and also in the 70s when they had a number of disco hits such as 'Night Fever'. RIP Robin Gibb. You will be greatly missed by lots of music fans.

Wowee, great stuff Wendy. Love Bob Dylan.

Donna Summer singing 'Love to love you baby' was my favourite. RIP Donna Summer.

Yes Wendy I was age 15 in that photo. I look much nicer now, dont you think ??

Teresa May getting heckled at the Police Ferederation AGM. Delegates saying what they think to her 20 percent cutbacks in policing. You should have seen Ms Mays face.

Hi Wendy, it was nice to meet you in Colne library this morning. Finally I have met someone from OGFB.

Hello Wendy, the same thing has happened to me a couple of times logging into OGFB and other websites, don't know why it happens. I usually get back on someway but not sure how - it just happens for some reason.

Very sorry to hear of your loss Thomo. I remember as a child being terribly upset when my hamster and gold fish died.

Vidal Sassoon celebrity hairstylist to the stars has died at the age of 84.

Oh sorry that I missed you Wendy. I did mention OGFB to Elaine but she didn't seem to know of the site/or wasn't on it. If I go next Wednesday I will see if I can see you. I will go in the afternoon.

Have been doing a bit of research into my ancestors Hartleys and Stuttards of Colne. Went to Colne cemetary and found a gravestone Hartley/Stuttard near the chapel. Then went to Colne library and got talking to a lady volunteer called Elaine who works there on Wednesdays. She has ancestors with that...
