For one it should be very low in fat, I think it should also be made with french flour.

The French dont make loaves. They only make those silly baguettes..... and even then only with a string of onions around their neck.

We had a great walk today. 6.6 miles over Lancashire's West Pennine Moors. In the people photo the lovely Mrs P is on the left.

The two stones are a mystery we are trying to solve. One can find pairs of stones like these dotted around the moors. No holes or other indication these were gates. No nearby walls or other types of enclosure. Strange.

We've binned the fireworks in favour of a cosy fire and G&T

12 foot apart?

They've had wire round them at some time, as well. In more than one place.

I'm looking after the lady alsatian from across the road while here owners are away for a few days. Lemmy thinks all his Birthdays have come at once!

That would be about right. I haven't spotted the wire though. Do you have a suggestion?

Wooden fencing, now rotted away.

The wire has been used as a means to block the way through the two stones. Diagonal marks visible. Possible that wire has also been used as a modern fencing material.

Morning chaps. No frost today, but a tad windy. We are supposed to have heavy rain today and tomorrow. Oh well. Slobbing for me then.

Decorating day, Bohemian Rhapsody was well worth going to see yesterday.

Morning peops.
07.45. Lovely blue sky. No wind. No sign (yet) of the bad weather we are promised. Sat in conservatory with fire on, enjoying a coffee while listening to Tony Blackburn. His jokes seem to get worse as he gets older.
