Cracking day today, no rain, blue skies, bit of a breeze.
Good bike ride and a bit of work outside.
There's a couple of photographs here we took at the start of our trip from Saddleworth Moor.
The house in the foreground looked really well cared for.
These places really are becoming much more poular for people to be buying and renovating or total new builds if they can get planning permission, which isn't always easy at all.
They can usually do what they want within reason regarding refurbishment of old farm houses etc.
There is plenty of space in the hills of course, but the original buildings were all agricultural or dairy associated.
Some of the old pubs were bought up years ago and converted into fancy type restaurants. I think they had a good run for many years, but the trend is not nearly as lucrative a business as it once was and unfortunatrely there is a decline in the appearance and presentation of many places.
The Alpine Restaurant up here near Denshaw looked reasonable from the outside, we didn't go in of course, but it did have a decent write up on a link I came across.
The link however was two years old at the time of entering this post.
