Even crisper this morning David!

Crisper, but not as clear today.

Not enough for skiing...

...but it's trying later on!

Yiota is over from Oz and said she wanted to see snow. She and Susan went to Whitby yesterday.... I have an idea she might have seen more there than here.

This evening's solstice sunset shining on Barlick.

Lovely picture. The sort of colours you see in an art galley.

Nice pic David. We certainly stayed light for longer last night under the clear sky.

A grand day for Barnoldswick's Britain in Bloom judging!

Sun cutting through low cloud this morning.

I'm glad you had a good day for the judging. Roll on October!

Let it roll on slowly, Stanley!

It'll be Christmas again before we know it.

Have had a four day gap between the judging and tomorrow's start on putting the beach in; summer'll be over be over far too quickly.

Too right! I noted it was dark at 22:00 last night as I went to bed......

Bit o' sunshine after yesterday's rain.

It was a growy day David.... Isn't that a good view, the shed roofs at Bankfield will be gone shortly.....

Interestingly, the northlight roof you can see in the picture is remaining (for now at least). The white ends are sections of upvc cladding installed to keep the weather out of a retained section. Blockwork has been erected up to roof height.

I'll get a fresh picture of the demolition from my canal bridge position this morning, all being well.

I was wondering what the white ends were.....

My plans for a new Bankfield picture went up the spout with being short handed at the beach...

Not much change since the last Bank Edge View...

But still looking good! We are very lucky to live here....

Very true...it's too easy to live somewhere and not appreciate how lucky you are. Living on the northern edge of Blackburn I was lucky to be in easy distance of the Ribble valley. I used to enjoy cycling to Whalley but not on the newer road. Instead setting out up past the old Blackburn cemetery, past Parsonage reservoir and on Whalley Old Road which runs along the ridge and then drops down into Whalley. Lovely views from up there. I seem to remember there was also a lane even higher on the ridge that I cycled on too - looking on Google Maps it must have been Moor Lane which diverged from Whalley Old Road where York lane met it near Langho. But you had to be careful on the sharp bend just before the lane met the main road at the bridge over the river!

I agree with you Tiz about the old lanes. One thing that has struck me over the years poking about around here is that if you are on a lane with holly trees in the raised banks on either side you are always on a medieval way. Follow the Holly bushes (often trees!) for the most picturesque views.

Good to wake up to clear skies after flooding took over this week.

Yet another great image. I've pinched it for my chimney Stack collection!

This evening's cloudscape.
