I will be experimenting with layouts and backgrounds over the next few walks
but for now I will keep it simple.
I saw a post by a local man on our village FB group which had some lovely
pictures of Bracken Hill Gill near Silsden so yesterday I decided to go and find it. I
failed on that but had a grand walk of about 8 miles with some stunning views
and lots of wildlife. Recognised a chaffinch call (seeing as I am rubbish at recognising
birds I was quite pleased at that 😀) and heard what I have
found out since was a goldfinch. Lots of lambs in fields but they were so cute
I didn't want to record them in case I ate one later 😈

Old split screen Morris Minor at Kildwick
|
Barnacle goose and a very photogenic swan. Both came swimming up expecting a feed but left very disappointed 😄
 |
| Closest I have ever been to a Heron. Let me get very close. I don't think it got the fish 😟
|
 |
| This swing bridge is now disused. Didn't seem to do anything now but I guess it must have at one time. |
 |
| Nice collection of boats |
 |
| I saw Rosie, but no Jim |
 |
| Good name for a cafe |
 |
| If you can't make it out the date on the gate for this farmhouse is 1674. |
 |
| A bit old... |
 |
| Some of them lambs I told you about. |
 |
| I'll not eat these ones. Honest! | |
Couple
of views across Airedale from the opposite side of the valley to my
usual stomping ground. The first one shows the whole Sutton,
Crosshills and Glusburn conurbation.
 |
| I have seen signs about "smart water" before and wondered what it was... |
Now I know!
Last couple of old things. A JCB and the Old Priory. The priory is a listed building
There are a couple of plaques on the buildings attached to the right about them being refurbished and converted in the 1800s but I couldn't see any dates of the original buildings.
I would love any constructive advice on layouts or anything else that may help this blog flow more smoothly. Of couse I expect my friends to mercilessly take the Mickey 😄
