Our starting point and eating place
Under the chestnut tree
Were we really a couple of miles from the centre of Blackburn?
A once derelict Woodford Hall
Verdant
An old gate post
So that's what Nikon Norman tastes like
Single file through the meadow
More long, wet grass
Elizabeth training or conducting the cows
Lunch in the nettle bed
Margaret impervious to the nettles
A nice cuppa puts a smile on one's face
Th' ole it wall
Alum Scar Lane
John explaining what Alum was used for
