Fantastic views, Bloomer! We were in the Peak District yesterday - so beautiful.

Thank you Tuesdaybear,and Homebird..pleased you like the views..and all of us Northern girls too..we are so lucky,arent we? ,to have scenery like this all around us :o)

Great blog Bloomer, really interesting :-)
Mad how just the tower remains. I dont blame you for not taking on the steps, no need anyway with the views you got anyway.
I think you would light up the beacon if Russell put you in it:-)

Fab Blog Bloomer, thanks for sharing, and i just love those pics with the sky in..

That is such a great blog. Stunning views and you seem to have had better weather than we did up in north Yorks. Jxx

Thanks Willi..it's a lovely place to visit..on a good day ! We don't venture up at other times ..My light would soon be blown out..:o)

Thank you,S.lad .Pleased you enjoyed it...the.guy with the kite was on a Skateboard...!...

Cheers Jane,it's amazing how far you can see...it was just perfect weather to be up there...across the valley where we live,we have equally stunning views...as far as the Drax power station,between Selby and Goole..and on an exceptionally good day,the spire of York Minster..so it is said..but not actually seen it myself...:o)

That's lovely - and very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed it. :o)

Very interesting Bloomer,thank you.

Thank you,Nariz,and Johnjoe..so pleased you enjoyed a bit of the local History,and pics.:o)

I've enjoyed your tour Bloomer - What fabulous views and a wonderful way to spend the day! :o)

Great blog and nice to see the area of your home.

Fantastic Panoramic views Sandra sounds very interesting, hope you thought of us when you were looking towards the Pennines! and the Sky pictures arelovely. [just read your PM and isnt it funny I have an OCD at home who sounds identical to yours lol]

and here I am folks on the other side of castle hill, hello there Bloomer, smashing blog, when Ralph went on the balloon flight I stood at the castle watching through the binoculars, it was brill, anyone ever in the area its well worth a visit,

Simply lovely B. beautiful views across the hills and that blue sky, the one before the kite, is fantastic. I really enjoyed your blog.

Thanks Petaltracey,and Cinders..it is a lovely place to live..so many places ro visit..but so have both of you in your part of the Country :o)
.........
Thank you,Carole..and of course we thought of you..trudging the hills of Mossley with Rosie !Lol...Shall I bring a duster next time we meet? They could share it :o)
...........
Thanks,Yorkshire..I didn't know Ralph had been up in a hot air balloon, ! wow,he is a braver person than me..bet you had a great view from there...:o)
..........
Thanks G,mage..glad you liked the tour..and I was lucky to see the sky at that moment..If I hadn't been sunning myself,I would have missed it ! Lol.

very intersting blog Bloomer lovely views too, a nice day out for you both, kite and skateboard together - crikey!! I take it that wasn't you :o)

Thank you,Neellan...it was a lovely day..and no way,would you get me on a Skateboard !..or try to fly that kite..it looked so heavy ! It pulled him off the board a couple of times...poser :o))

Lol that was my thought, skateboard and kite are not two items that naturally go together - either one left to me would be just an accident waiting to happen - still I'm sure he made you smile as you lay there comfortably enjoying your biccies :o)

Smug,is what I would call it,Neellan..:o)

Lol :o)

Fantastic scenery ! :o)))

Thank you,Terra..just so peaceful up there.just taking in the views and the odd Kite ..not the bird,but it was a red one ! :o)

Love this blog, Sandra ... absolutely lovely views ... thanks for sharing ... :o)

Thank you,Shirley..and if ever you get up this way ? ...see what you are missing!Lol.

Wow what a lovely Blog Bloomer, love the sky photo and how interesting, feel like I have been there myself. Thank you. :oD

Thank you,N3..glad you liked it..if I hadn't chilled out on the grass,I wouldn't have seen that sky pic :o)

That was interesting, and the views are fantastic.
Pitty about the vandalism. I don't understand the mentality of some people.

Thanks Hywel..Stone thefts are rife here ,as most of our walls are also of Yorkshire stone..tops of garden walls are a prime target too..always someone out to make a fast buck..so sad ...

Dare I say, you need to chill more, if only so we get more lovely pics :o))))))))))))))

I'm all for that,N3..it doesn'y take much persuasion to get me to chill...It's my favourite pastime :o)
