This is what happens when you start drinking gin at 3pm in Whitby
Especially if Simon @dabhand gives you a quicky before you go out early doors !

I think it's a murmuration.

 

[kelpie]

I THINK it's called a murmuration , not sure , but something in the crazy part of my brain thinks it is. It's amazing how they never bump into each other at the speed they do. Quite a sight , then suddenly roosted and nothing in the sky.

My excuse is it was a foggy day in Brittany yesterday just before we got the ferry back home - so I didn't see the sign!

Might as well be him for a sheep as a lamb !
It'd be rude not to mmmmmm

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

Oops too much gin ! That should say
" might as well be hung for a sheep , as a lamb "

 

[DBK]

I had fish and chips last night on the Brittany Ferries boat to Plymouth - it didn't look as nice as yours.

And almost certainly didn't taste as nice either. #disappointingfrenchfood

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

Bet it wasn't as cheap too . That's a small portion with bread and a pot of tea for £7.95 . Hadley's .
Very nice .

Canal at the back of my house earlier.

This is a picture of me with a chub that I caught on the bit of that canal at Shade behind the electricity subsatation.

Not exactly picture of the day was probably about 1957

 

[barsteward]

I live a little bit further up now I've retired, one of the old pre-fabs that back onto the canal in walsden next to the school. Pop in for tea/coffee next time your fishing.

Hadn't they connected the sub station up in 1957 or were you poaching

My dad was born on Chapel Street opposite that school, moved away and returned 50 years later to one of the 'leaning' houses near the bottom of Inchfield Road, passed away 4 years ago.

I have many happy memories of that canal, Sunday morning fishing, no poaching, paid up members of Todmorden Angling Club.......even lived near the Canal in Rochdale.

 

[Nevis]

Taken on my phone (through my shades as a polarising filter) heading back from ordering my first MoHo!

I walked along the canal from home in Hebden Bridge to work in Todmorden every day, and to see to my horse and hens at Callis Wood Bottom.

I lived in Hebden for a few years in the 60s and again in the 80s, my sister and brother in law were the local milk pearsons. Can you remember them? people who delivered milk to your door seven days a week that is.

Well Him Indoors does, he was there longer than me. He thinks he had raw milk from them. I remember getting goats milk from our friend Rodney in Luddendenfoot.
