My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[woodbutcher]

Plagerising L.C. again l fear ...
“O mussels" said woodbutcher,
“You’ve had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?”
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten every one.

It's nice when you try out a different route, and you end up with a view like this:

Overlooking Wellington Cable car(That's what they call it)

Wall, Staffs.

 

[flake99please]

Pentland hills from the A702 (Castlelaw Hill).

Camellia Lavinia Maggii

Poster advertising an upcoming festival. What bemused me was the fact Gary Barlow had sold out, but Noel Gallagher and Elvis Costello hadn't.....

I went down to East Midlands Airport today, to pick wife & daughter up, after a 'girls week away'

I set off early, as I had a couple of things in mind
I did have plans to visit the AeroPark, by the runway, but it's seemingly not open on Fridays 1.
(they have a Vulcan, a Lightning, a Nimrod, & a Buccaneer, amongst others)

So............... I ended up driving a loop, & had a look at the Swarkestone Causeway

It dates back to the 13th Century (the actual bridge is 1850's)
The Causeway had been widened, & is the longest bridge in the Country


From Wikipedia....................
In 1745, Swarkestone Bridge was the southernmost point of Bonny Prince Charlie's advance on London, in his attempt to claim the British throne.[1] Finding no reports of support from the south, they turned back to Derby and then retreated to Scotland and their final defeat at the Battle of Culloden.[2]

1. Yes, I know there's the Car museum there, but it's mainly F1, by the looks of it, which more sinks my boat, than floats it!!!
Granted, there's the military side ,& the BRM/Vanwalls, that's the plus side

Further along, after last weeks heavy rain, & the silt left
The next sector was interesting on slicks, without slowing down
(no, I didn't fall off/have to put a foot down..... all those years of CX racing)




One of three architecturally (very) important buildings in the Castleford area
(now) 'Three Lane Ends Business Centre'
By Oliver Hill, probably best known the North, for his gorgeous Midland Hotel at Morecambe

CFA Voysey - which are still visited by group of architecture students, from Universities

it was actually in the yard of a wet-fish supplier, in Castleford, & I only saw it by chance
