Wonder why we like looking put of the back door:

Some great stuff this week - and we got three days to go!

I had plans to document a dollop of my week, but the idea went south when I started to feel a bit unwell on Tuesday - managed to get a short walk in the woods on Wednesday, but other than that I've done very little but moan and groan and be a big, soft bloke.

Today I get summat done!

As I walked the girls this morning Kelly said "It doesn't usually look like this Mum!'

Very grey and quite cold for us. I had to choose the safest route around the block because so many big kangaroos were hiding from the wind in the  bushes - sorry Korky, couldn't get any pictures!:

Off to Anglesey in a few days so thought I'd dust off my Sony bridge camera with a view to giving it a little holiday.

I fired off a few frames to re-familiarise myself with its knobs and knoblets and I was quite taken with this one.

Can I just say I am in awe of your processing skills - you have a style that is distinctive, consistent and produces an image with fantastic depth.

[Clicker]

That's a stunner  Korks ....Fabulous separation and  depth as Beepy says .. I must admit  i do enjoy  using my  Lumix FZ 1000   every now and then ... these Bridge cameras  can be pretty impressive  in my experience ... Lovely  work M'lud ...

Two Trees on Pendle Hill - those that followed the OADED Challenge will be familiar with this as I photographed it a lot...

[Clicker]

I think i know nearly every blade of grass in that vista Rye ... but it never disappoints ...

By the way ... I love what I presume is Thomas in the final pic in your set Beepy....So SURREAL !

Thanks Clicker - I think I do as well - though I think it's the first time I've been up their and photographed it this year. There always seem to be sheep here too.

Actually got out for a little cruise this morning and look what we brought home with us, a Dunnolly Bakery Bee Sting:

Up at 7, 3 loads of washing done and hung out, everyone else is still in bed.

Happy Father's Day!

I am keeping a very close eye on those clouds though

Up at 7, huge coffee, out with the dog, home for more coffee, bacon butties and the IoM TT highlights on TV

[Phil]

So, after shaving everyday for my entire adult life, a few months ago I decided to grow a beard, ever since I've been the brunt of many a family joke, not least of which is being known as Daddy Pig!

Here is my Father's Day pressie.   

[Korky]

Up at 7, had a pee, had a stretch, threw a soup tin at next door's cat, got back in bed till half-past- eight.

Now..... I have a dilemma...... do I go for two England flags on the X-Trail? Or would the full monty four flag look be seen as a touch tacky?

BP - How many flags are you putting on the new set of wheels?

Oh, definitely 4, I wouldn't expect any less from the chavvy side of the pennines.

[Korky]

OK, thanks for the advice - four flags it is.

Off out this afters to get the flags, the stickers, the deely boppers, the baseball cap and the tattoo.

Woke at 6:30am and decided it was far too flippin early to be getting up, so went back asleep until 8:45....

Father's Day... the original plan was to drive to Rawtenstall with my Dad, Sister and Mum and ride out to Bury on a steam train, have something to eat/drink, watch the steam trains at Bury and come back home.... Alas there was only one steam train running so we decided on Martin Mere - my sister had never been before, plus it's nice and flat and easy to negotiate with a wheelchair and wheeled walking frames. Arrived at the  care home to pick up my Dad - too find him seriously in need of a shave and doing his best grizzly adams impression - my Dad's 85 and can be hard work so often won't let the care staff shave him.....

A short trip down the M65, past Chorley and Rufford and 40 minutes later we were there... A couple of ducks....
