Interesting! Hello Phil and welcome to One Guy. I've just had a look through Fay Oldland's book on the History of Foulridge and there is no mention of Walker Holme. She states that the Walton family moved into Ball House from Marsden in 1710 and also has Waltons at Reedymoor Farm. I'll see what I ca...

That's a bit scary Kev!
What a beautiful day it has been. This morning I enjoyed a long chat with my hairdresser and this afternoon a glorious walk around Kelbrook Moor with Sally. Curlews, lapwings and skylarks..... memories to store away.

Just posted a practice post Gloria. Not sure if I can help but I'll try!

First swallows arriving this afternoon. They don't nest in our barn anymore, but plenty at the farm next door. It's such a joy to see them....
All the way from Africa.

I might decline the shed this morning because I have to be out of the house and on my way to the library at 10:00 and don't want to cut back on second sleep. I'm going to the library because I've been invited by the library to go to a lecture that Ian McKay is giving this morning on Bancroft Shed. ...

Looks good Kev, hope you enjoy the War of the Worlds!
I've been up to the top of Weets with Sally where it was glorious but wild.

We caught up with the final episode last night Gloria. It definitely got a bit complex at the end!

Only if there is an R in the month!

Wendy, have you seen it?

It didn't appeal to me Cathy, I don't know why.

Richard Chamberlain, always Dr Kildare to me, has died. One of the first records I bought was the Dr Kildare Theme.
I've just remembered that he was in the 1973 version of The Three Musketeers which was a fabulous film with Michael York as d'Artagnan.

One of my favourite programmes!

It is showing as taxed until June 2025, and the colour is green!

I nipped into Skipton yesterday afternoon too Gloria to visit the art gallery on Victoria Street. They have been holding a Peter Brook event and I have a small collection of his prints. There is very little that I want or need these days but I felt I should treat myself to something special with the...

It looks like there is a cricket match in progress on Applegarth. The houses of "Bracewell Gardens" are being built there now after a lot of groundwork.

We are getting the showers up here Stanley!

They were running late and didn't land at Barton Airport, they disappeared off Flight Radar so I lost them. My friend who lives in Ramsbottom saw them!

It was a favourite Gloria, not my style though unfortunately. I'm pleased it did OK.

Very happy Kev! There is no commission on gold just a flat ,handling fee. I'm not sure what happened with the silver bangles, perhaps they didn't meet the hidden estimate.

I'll be watching an online auction from Colne as I've put a few of my mum's gold and silver jewellery items in the sale. Fingers crossed they do well! Hope they do well for you Wendy, it'll be quite exciting to watch it :good: I was quite anxious about there being no reserve on the items but when I...

I'll be watching an online auction from Colne as I've put a few of my mum's gold and silver jewellery items in the sale. Fingers crossed they do well! It's worth watching Flight Radar and the skies for a final parade of Puma helicopters which leaves Barton Airport at around 10.30 am heading for Catt...

It was one of these......

Col has just been up to inspect the damage and its not as bad as we thought. The stone posts are OK, it was a concrete gatepost and all the fencing around the cattle grid that suffered damage. We just have access over our neighbour's land up to the road Kev so luckily not our problem, though it woul...

Two incidents involving lights last night. One was heavily reported on Facebook and was quite remarkable, the newly launched Space X rocket venting fuel causing a swirling light show across the clear sky . There was also a lot of lights at the end of our track which turned out to be a large pig tran...

Good news Kev, I hope the drinking and draining goes well!

I think Col has faced 3 catheter removal days, always anxious times for him and me too! Luckily he hasn't had any bladder problems since his last TURPS procedure about 4 years ago. I hope it goes well Kev.
