There and back

A cow on a bridge!
We set off with, impending rain, turning round and heading back a few miles, to get fuel and a bit of shopping. As we approached this bridge a black and white cow was walking accross but got over before I could get the photo. As we went under the bridge I was saying how I wanted the shot and a brown and white cow obliged.
Heading back to Barnoldswick
The trip was very dull but stayed fine and we passed a few boats en route, most of which we had seen before as they are local.
Today's creature - a cute rabbit
Barnoldswick aka Barlic
We discovered Barlic to be charming with some interesting shops and friendly people.
 Coffee and rain
Eventually the rain arrived and was torrential with streams running through the streets. We had just got rather large coffees so we sat under the shelter of the shade and watched the world go by.
 The canal swarming with canoists
We managed to get the same mooring back in Foulridge and enjoyed watching these children learning to canoe - a number crashing into us in the process. We later had a lovely dinner at Cynthia's with Bill, Ellie and Elaine. We talked so much, alas we forgot to take some photos. Thanks for a great evening!
