Heather’s birthday


We travelled all of 4 miles & 3 swing bridges from Rufford to Tarleton to spend the day with Heather on her birthday. Heather & Jason both had the day off, dropped the kids at school & came to Tarleton to open Town Swing Bridge for us.



So our biggest baby absolutely loved having the ducks all to herself without her 3 babies wanting to feed them.














It was a very misty morning and the kingfishers kept us company along the way, but just too far away to take a snap.














There were lovely reflections going under Bank Bridge.














The trees are in bud, so spring is on the way.


 













Last weekend we strolled over the misty & very water logged Lancashire moss to Croston. As you can imaging we were very thirsty and had to have a couple of pints when we got there. It was just over an 8 mile round walk.


 


It was eerie seeing the tops of the wind turbines but not their stands!!




Anglezarke Moor in the distance at Chorley kept popping in and out of the mist.


Last Monday we caught the train to Liverpool for the day. We gave blood, mooched around the city and had tea & cake with our friends that have a winter mooring in Salthouse Dock.





In the evening we attended ‘Weaverpool’ a craft group held in the up-stairs of ‘10 Streets Market’, housed in an old warehouse. 10 Streets is an area backing onto the old disused docks, which is earmarked for a regeneration project. It was a varied group of young and old, doing knitting, weaving, embroidery, needle felting and spinning.
