Photo-a-Day  (Tuesday, 17th September, 2013)

Very neat lawns Ron....good pic....the only thing I would pick are the weeds poking out on the drive way there.....ton of bricks about to fall on my head no doubt..... :)...cheers!!!

Nice photo. Most people take photos looking the other way, at the hall itself.

What a great shot, looks pristine. Can`t make out what the black shape is near the fence. Maybe a dog, or someones jacket, or you have bloody big moles in Wigan these days. If it`s still there in two weeks I`ll look for myself

Looks very quiet Ron

i once saw Dougie Lampkin ride a motorcycle along the top of that fence for some tv show or other

ah! summer days. lovely

Probably a mole hill Derek.
Anyway, on a more interesting and important subject, I think its your turn to get the ale in Worsley Mesnes Club, or St. Judes if you prefer. Or both!!!
See you when you arrive in Wigan on the 28th.

Nice one Ron, but I don't think we will be seeing much of those beautiful blue skys for a while. Nice shot

The best motorcyclist in the world would not be able to ride on that fence, M- Biker for 20 yrs,

@ Joe-M , take a look at the start of this video 0:08, obviously Dougie Lampkin is better than the best motorcyclist in the world !

I saw Dougie Lamton ride that fence and put pics on Wigan world of him .See him on youtube he is brilliant .

Love the title Ron - a little dig at the younger generation eh ? Very funny, well done and a highly original photo too.

Nice shot, Ron.

Derek, think it maybe just a shadow of something we can`t see against the fence.Nice picture Ron,.like the clouds !

OK Jim, even though I am a pauper from the commonwealth, as it were, I think I can stretch to a pint for you.

Jean; Can you see the heron`s head and part body in the sky?

No ,Ernest, cannot make that one out but I just enlarged the whole picture and saw "dumbo" the baby elephant on the right hand side and a real tiny tiny bird flying past .
Readers please note ....this is not a serious hobby LOL

Jean; Look at left hand top corner. It`s formed by the gap in the tree.
Can see "Dumbo".
Will be seeing Machynlleth on TV today. It`s where the Tour of Britain 5th stage starts then ends in Caerphilly.
Wonder if you will be outside cheering them on.

Ernest....I am a coward.....Didnt go to watch the race....it was pouring down....my daughter went and got soaked.Felt sorry for the riders .Our road was full of cars and just after the cyclists left the starting point we had hoards of people running to their cars .....eager to follow the race.! BBC mentioned the race and showed a clip but it wasn`t Mach.....the sun was shining!!

Jean; The Tour of Britain is on Eurosport and ITV4. I switch between to avoid the adverts!
After a very wet start in Mach.. the sun did come out.
Today`s 8th stage starts in Sidmouth and ends on Dartmoor - know this part of the country very well.

Thankyou Ernest.

Ernest...well off topic but I thought i would mention that my brother died 2 weeks ago .he was 82 and just wondered if you knew him as we lived by queensway,His name was Peter Smith.he was at the Grammar school for his last part of school life He was very keen on Sport and played cricket for the school.

Jean; Sorry, I didn`t know Peter.
Today`s Tour of Britain stage was completely dry!

Thankyou Ernest.
