I'd like to say thanks in appreciation of all the hits the thread has had to date.
NINE THOUSAND, that's rather special.
I do try to make the input as interesting as possible, sometimes it doesn't come all that easy, but all the same it must be maintaining interest to have such good numbers reading the same.
Thanks very much.
There are times when the best plans don't turn out as you might want them to. Life's like that.
Today we had planned a very early departure and had intended doing some additional travel around the Lake District. It didn't work out that way.
It was approaching 10.30 before we were able to leave home due to circumstances outside of our control. It's getting dark now around four o'clock as well.
As it was we had an additional run around The Ribble Valley, it's always a beautiful place to visit as well.
This fellow lives there, so he should know.
It was alive with 'Pheasants' as well, note the two here, one on the floor pecking away at a fallen apple, the other up in the tree having a nibble on one up there.
We made our way towards the village of Abbeystead.
There's quite a bit of a story associated with that place as well.
