A full size bubble

It’s rather nice to have our full sized bubble back after 3 months. During October half-term it was just 2/3 of its proper size.

We’ve had a lovely journey from Skipton back to Chorley. We chose a super day to descend our final flight of locks for 2020, last Tuesday and actually managed get sun all day. Due to this area being in tier 3, we have to stay put and only move for fuel & water, which suits us just fine.





Foulridge Tunnel.





Air shaft in the tunnel with water pouring down.



It’s so sad to go past miles of rubbish thrown over people’s walls & fences through Burnley and Blackburn.



And of course this rubbish ends up around our propeller. John reports the water is bloody cold!!!


 


Some of the urban graffiti is very artistic.


 

The industrial landscapes are breathtaking through these towns.



But the amazing reflections at Riley Green, totally made up for the rubbish.



We’re having fun with the grandchildren while their postmum is working her little socks off delivering so many parcels.




We’ve been up to Healy Nab, for a mud bath!!! But such good fun and the view over Chorley is amazing, even if it was a bit too misty for a photo.





The kids each made a batch of mince pies, bake off stylee.





And I couldn’t resist scraping the saucepan after John made slab (that’s what we call ‘tablet’).



I’m loving my spinning advent calendar, with 10g of fluff to spin each day. Most days I’ve managed to snap a photo of it outside.
