There is a long history of keeping a goat to trim the grass around the little harbour in Cushendun and the goat is something of a local mascot. Today's goat is doing an excellent job.

This is a memorial to the dearly departed Johann who was victim of the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001😢

A rather impressive entranceway to a memorial and garden in Barlborough:

Bridge over Leeds Liverpool Canal, Rishton.

Close-up of plaque on bridge.

Seems like an odd place to camp, but may not be referring to tent camping - roundabout/not too far from there "camping" can be a dialect phrase for "shooting the breeze", friendly nattering.

View over bridge to somewhat unlikely camping spot:

Could have also gone under bike and gate I suppose.

Trawden.

Plaque to right of gate

I love these sorts of practical gift memorials.

The playing fields themselves - must have seen some games on truly appalling days - quite an exposed spot, quite some distance from the village in a far from dry area.

Pic taken on a good day.
