Hello oddly proportioned Robin Hood, Prince of thieves!

Ingleton Falls

Our new tradition (as we did it last year and this year), Ingleton falls on the May long weekend (after I finish work as I worked again this year)

The Coin Tree

A little troll lives in there

Amazingly, there's not been as much rain this year and the falls were definitely less impressive.

Lovely Liverpool Day

This was probably one of the nicest days we'll have all year. Beautiful, sunny and hot! We had a wonderful day out in Liverpool doing all the things we'd always said we'd do but haven't yet. Started with Dim Sum at the restaurant above the big Asian supermarket. It was a first for both Grant and me, overall pretty good, but we accidentally ate some chicken feet!! Then we went to some markets. Then, the Yellow Duck Marine!! The old amphibious army vehicle that takes you around town and then in the water around the docks. Then we had a nice drink out on the patio in the sun. Followed off with an Indian Take-away. Nice.

I guess these people on the canal boats were getting annoyed that everyone in the Duck would wave at them and complained, so the guide made a point of telling everyone to wave at them!!!

This is the Flat we lived in in summer '06

That's us!
