#SilentSunday

A rural scene. Looking across green fields, hedgerows and leafy trees to a range of blue-grey mountains in the far distance. The highest has a dip in the middle making it look a little like a saddle. There is a small red brick building with a grey pitched roof in the lower right-hand part of the photo. The sky is a moody mix of grey and white cloud.

@helenclayton 👍🏻😂

@aroundthehills Ashamed to admit I only have two currently whereas OH has three…

Sundog

A parhelion in the May morning. Magical.

This glorious beauty was waiting for me as I opened my bedroom curtains. Even my first coffee had to wait for a few moments.

A colour photo of wispy white clouds on a darker greyish background. Left of centre is a stripe of beautiful rainbow colour visible from red-orange to pale yellow with hints of the other colours on each side.

We're here, not to make more than we can spend, not to consume embarrassingly, not to fight each other.

We exist to be in awe of our tiny blue planet, adrift in a sea of nothingness, and its diversity of life. Respect it; it's all we have.

There, I've said it.

Nous sommes ici, non pas pour gagner plus que ce que nous pouvons dépenser, pas pour consommer de manière embarrassante, pour ne pas nous battre les uns contre les autres.

Nous existons pour être en admiration devant notre petite planète bleue, à la dérive dans une mer de néant, et sa diversité de vie. Respectez-le ; C’est tout ce que nous avons.

Voilà, je l’ai dit

Lowering the tone but felt compelled to..

@helenclayton Yikes indeed!!! 😬

@helenclayton Actually I can’t hear the word viaduct without thinking of Coronation Street. Mam was a Lancashire lass and I watched the program regularly with her. I was around 12 or 13 (there’s a giveaway!) when Ena was trapped under the viaduct, and I remember finding the whole thing somewhat traumatic! Not only that - Mam told me she nearly stepped out of a train on Preston viaduct in the 40’s as she was very short sighted and thought they’d reached the station 😱

@helenclayton 👌

@helenclayton 🤣🤣🤣

@helenclayton Viaduct please!🤓😂 It’s the Carlisle-Settle railway 😊

@aroundthehills Awwwww how sweet 😀

@Ivor 😬

It’s….. #FingerpostFriday

A bicycle is parked on the road in front of a smallish tree - the photo shows only the trunk and lower branches. To the left of the tree is a small black and white fingerpost. Behind is an area of grass, vivid green in bright sunshine and surrounded by leafy trees and shrubs. There is a vehicle track making two rows of bare earth and there are lots of shadows. In the background there is an old stone railway viaduct with big, high arches. The sky is blue with white cloud.

The finger is a white rectangle with a black border and black writing in capitals. It says ‘LOW HOUSE’ then DRYBECK’.

Word of the day: bisged https://geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html?bisged - a biscuit, ship’s biscuit, hard tack. We enjoy dunking our biscuits in tea or coffee and have many names for the tea break treat included in the Geiriadur, such as: bisgit, bisgïen, sgeden, cacen, teisen, bara poeth and bochlwyth.

Pa enw a ddefnyddiwch chi am fisged - bisgit, bisgïen, sgeden, cacen, teisen, bara poeth, bochlwyth, neu a oes enw arall arni?
