Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
Our bus trip to Skipton used to go up a back road to Barnoldswick and then turn round and come back along the same road which was in truth nothing out of the ordinary. We were taken by surprise when doing this trip to find it now goes beyond Barnoldswick and on a very scenic and interesting route through Earby, Thornton-in-Craven, Elsack and Broughton. We were first of all surprised however when we got to Barnoldswick to find it decked out as if for a visit of Britain in Bloom judges! The pic shows just the bus shelter....... Having got to Skipton we decided to take a longer walk than normal along the canal to Skipton Woods. We saw parts we had not seen before, and very nice too....... Here a statue of the great Fiery Fred Truman...what a bowler he was (together of course with Lancashire's own Brian Statham). This shows the canalside gardens of Alexander's a 'grand cafe' pub and restaurant. We really must try. As we were doing things differently today we took a different, lower route in the woods. Delightful. We had an even better trip home as we were on a double-decker. Fabulous.........
