whalley abbey walk

Looks a lovely place to visit San, glad you enjoyed your walk. Your photos are lovely too.

What a great photo of you San! You look really well and so healthy and fit! Lovely to see!

I have very fond memories of Clitheroe, as I had a good friend from there many years ago, and he was one of those friends who'd let you stay with his parents and introduce you to real Ales, and take you to see Canal locks etc...ah, good times! I haven't been to this abbey, but it's beautiful..what a lovely p,ace for a walk!

cheers cinders, its a lovely place, we hadnt been before or even heard of it, found it on the lancashire site on internet, sunshine made it even more special :o))xx

Thanx karen, i feel great at the moment and like you i put it down to pure sunshine and fresh air, works wonders, nice to get back into some walking to,
glad this brought back som ehappy memories for you and clitheroe, its a fab area with the river and woodlands, molly would love it to :o)) xx

Nice place to visit Sand, I would have drag hub kicking and screaming to any open gardens :( I only ever see them on goy :))) Thats a great pic of you by the way..

Hi Dee its not easy when our men dont like gardening and open gardens, but if its an old ruin or house, or castle Baz isnt to bad cause he quite likes looking at old buildings, so we both get something we like, dont normally like my pic being taken but this one isnt to bad, not close enough to see the lines or double chin haha

Beautiful photos San - and great to see a good pic of you too. Glad you're enjoying the sun and getting out and about: it does look like a great place for a walk!

Yes, we're having a warm weekend too, and even had supper in the garden this evening :))

thankyou Sheila, its a lovely place and will defernatly go again and take a picnic, must get a flask i keep forgetting haha
glad you have had nice weather to and enjoyed supper in your garden, even better :o))

Many thanks for sharing your day out with us. What a really lovely place to visit and you had the perfect day weatherwise for a change!!
Shame you missed out on the tea room but maybe you caught a glimpse of the wedding instead!

Beautiful photos, and lovely to see you, is that Baz looking down at the pond? :))

Lovely photos San nice to see you enjoying your day out in nice surroundings and wild garlic too - love it :o)

Is that a railway viaduct ?

Thats what I thought...a railway viaduct...but not the Harringworth/Seaton one....but it looks very similar..but apart from that it looks a nice place to visit.

Lovely place Sandra and great day weatherwise too. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

What an amazing place for a wedding!

The gardens look beautiful, its lovely to see you looking so well and happy in the sun xxx

Lovely place sandra . Glad you had a nice day out.

Enjoyed this visit Sandra thanks:-) Wasn't the weather great! I was in Liverpool (long story) and will put a blog on when my flippin pc is fixed. You are looking very glamorous, younger each year:-))

We've also had some lovely sunshine Sandra, it looks a lovely place, we love just going of seeing were the car takes us but not this bank hoilday, been busy in garden and green house.....

thanx wildrose, yes we saw the guests and bride arriving at the wedding all looking lovely as they do :o)

Thankyou michaella and yes thats Baz looking at the pond, he really enjoyed it all :o))

cheers Neena havent enjoyed myself so much in ages, the wild garlic scent was devine, i must get some, been reading up on best ways to use it in cooking :o))

Diane it is a viaduct, massive to, we wondered how long it would have taken to build that, Baz said they are hollow inside each tower of brickwork, but stretched a long way to, wonderfull workmanship :o))

Rogi we arent sure of the name of it, would have to google it :o)

thankyou Linda and Pam for your nice comments, nice to get out again and feel well :o))

Cheers Holly and BA, lovely day out.
BA, wish i did look younger each year haha, look forward to your liverpool blog to :o))

Les,,, glad you enjoyed some sun to and got stuck into your garden, we wouldnt normally go out on a bank holiday but surprisingly enough it wasnt busy where we went, saw lots of trafic comming into Blackpool on our way out though :o))

Hi Sandra ..

Glad you enjoyed the walk and the pretty scenery.

Hi Terra and many thanx, it was just lovely to get out from these four walls after awfull weather, trouble is the sun is short lived, never mind enjoyed our weekend :o)) xx

Sun is supposed to return for next weekend :o)) xxx

fingers crossed :o)) xx

Yes, just heard, sunnier next weekend.....YEAH!!!!

Lovely walks round Whalley Abbey and environs and a lovely day to enjoy it. Did you make any sketches or take your paints? Last time we visited the tearoom was closed as well but there are places in the village/town. Glad you enjoyed your day.

hope so Linda ;o))
thanx TB, i didnt do any sketches or painting as i was with OH and its not his thing, but took plenty of photos if i want to paint something from there.
The village is lovely and like you the tearooms were closed because of a wedding that day, but still enjoyed it very much :o))

I think we have been there,San,many years ago,when we used to stay with friends in Blackburn..A Christmas Fayre,I seem to remember..You are looking so well,and glad you had a lovely day out..Is Whalley the place where there is a stream or river,running through the middle of the village? I might be thinking of another one in the area..

Good to see you looking happy and healthy San - pleased you had a great day out too! ... :o)

Thanx Sandra, im great and no its not whalley, but i know where you mean but dont remember the name of the village, thats a beautifull place, we went last year there.:o))

Thankyou shirely yes im happy and healthy touch wood and love days out when the sun shines, we have to make the most of it as doesnt happen often these days haha :o))

I've just asked Russell,and he mentioned Waddington..is that the one,San ?

just looked it up sandra and though it fits the bill, its not where i was thinking haha, i wish i could rememeber and Baz cant remember either ;o)
