SCENIC TOUR

 THURSDAY - Set off to visit Lancaster Castle we went the scenic route and it was very scenic with winding country lanes passing beautiful English cottages meadows sheep grazing at the Side of the road and rivers and bridges .


We arrived at the castle mid afternoon parked near the castle entrance and walked up the cobble road to the portcullis the entrance fee off £8 was waived and we went in the courtyard the Pendle witches where held here before being hanged a few miles away .


Helen was doing some readings at Pendle inn with her friend Julie we had tea there we both had fish and chips they where very nice the food was delivered very prompt at a reasonable price alert eating we went to find the church grave yard for one of the so called witches at St ,Marys church a few miles away and the statue of Alice Nutter at RoughLee a couple of miles further on although we had to park up and walk as the road was closed due to stone wall repairs near the water fall and river .


Gods eye symbol is below the clock and the date at the left hand side reads 1712 other parts of the church are older .


Helen finished her reading just after half past nine I had a pint of cider in the bar area we got home just after midnight it was very foggy as we got into Holmfirth .I ma back at work tomorrow for one shift before the weekend going to the coast was mentioned but looks like the weather is changing summer might be over until next year .
