The only apples in my fridge seem to have been made into Somerset cider.

Remind me, what were the rules again?

Fruit in compromising positions

 

[BigAl68]

This is more like the normal standards.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

ahhh, that is better. Off now to let my OH know not to open the oven door whilst the Yorkshire pudding is cooking!

If you never hear from me again....

This is the Great Central Way - the old railway track south of Leicester now a great cycle path which takes you right into the city centre. The North section is still in use for steam engines.

This is alongside the track, not sure if it is original or not, but I am going to claim it is.

My part of town, I was considering that waymarker as the site for a geocache.

Are you going to post a picture of his Yorkshires as an example of industrial architecture?

I didn't dare photo it before I ate it. It was on the most side cooked, but it hasn't risen!

Actually taken the day before the current challenge started, so I'm in no danger of winning...and I didn't cycle there either...

And the vertical isn't vertical either unless they didn't hang it straight... But we're not not picking are we

Actually SNSSO may have been right this time round - I might just be willing to admit that I have been slightly bending the rules

Was it even taken by you? The focal point seemed a little to good to be true

 

[BigAl68]

Doesn't meet the competition guidelines but when did that matter? I have spent an hour in the garden cleaning, polishing and doing my usual Sunday fettle so I took a picture

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Here we go, 2 that almost meet the guideline. The industrial theme is the old railway line - the Salt line that was a branch line of the main Chester - Manchester route to get salt from the mines in Winsford to the cities where they wanted it to go to!

The bike in one.... sorry The Trike in one...

And the railway line cutting in another....
