PhilWe are lucky to have Rufford Old Hall so close to us. There is the Hall, the grounds, the canal and a lovely old church to enjoy, particularly on a lovely late Spring day like today <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NationalTrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalTrust</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Rufford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rufford</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Lancashire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lancashire</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spring</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garden</a>

PhilWe have had this pink rhododendron for a long time, but it still comes up with a set of beautiful flowers in the spring.

Flippin' 'eck, Tucker!Today's hike was up and around Pendle Hill, probably most famous for the Witch Trials 400 years ago which resulted in nearly a dozen people (mostly women) being put to death for witchcraft.Near Pendle today there is a sculpture trail, supposedly inspired by the witches' stories, although the connections are I think fairly tenuous.They may appear to be only sculptures but we took no chances and were of course suitably polite to the fae creatures of the forest.<a href="https://social.chatty.monster/tags/Pendle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pendle</a> <a href="https://social.chatty.monster/tags/witches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#witches</a> <a href="https://social.chatty.monster/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> <a href="https://social.chatty.monster/tags/Lancashire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lancashire</a>

Ian Cylkowski PhotographyTime for something a little different.Before I moved to Cumbria, I lived in Preston for many happy years. It is a forward-facing, youthful, vibrant, and exciting little city.
