there

 

We passed by on the other side.

As one does.

Dad crofter

 

David, the crofters dad with his cockatoo lurking. 

My dad used to keep those birds I seem to recall. No idea why.

Anyway, David is bouncing a back to fine heath after some eye issues lately. 

My eyes are not so good either these days - especially my right eye and, despite using an autofocus camera I can't always take sharp photos when I want to. Perhaps I shall back to no focus camera and blur.

artist, potter and friend.

 

Oof here's Gwyneth outside her house in Drongan, Scotland. 

Not the best snap I have ever taken but there you are, it's still Gwyneth.

cat in the haar

 

No idea what this cat was called but it posed nicely down on a croft in the haar.

and the ride...

 

Oh look theres Eve and Mr Windy about to set off at the Veloretro ride in Ulverston. Third year of taking part and everything. 

It's Friday again

 

I think we walked down here on a Friday. The sun was shining - but not too hot. We met peeps with dogs, lots of them. Eve has the list if the dogs names

Harrogate

 

I quite like Harrogate. The art gallery is fine even if the museum space is a tad dim.  The cafes are ok too if you avoid the over hyped dainty affair. We did and hit the greasy spoon. For some reason the whole town was stinky as. Stinky as a stinky thing. I think the nearby farmers must hav ebeen fertilising their fields with organic fertiliser. despite that my nephew and his lovely family chose to live there - and very nice it too.  Aptly described in the snap above.
