Ribble Valley

ClitheroeHad to go to Ribble Valley County Council again on Monday. A long way to go especially when the meeting was scheduled for 15:00, about midday would have been ideal. Anyway I left home at 09:30 and took my time driving north. I stopped a few times to check my emails, and decided to take a look at Pendle Hill as there was a possibility of seeing Dotterel at this time of year, according to the book Where to watch birds in Britain.

I found a village called Barley and headed out towards the hill and it became obvious that I would get nowhere near enough to get to the top of the hill in the time I had available to me. So I took some pictures and headed down to Clitheroe where the meeting would be.

I had an opportunity to take a walk round the town, which seemed to the thriving properties prices were high and the shops seemed to independent. I chanced upon a gallery at the station I liked the art branded “Particle article” the objects were little creatures made of wire and things found in nature ones and pine cones and old leaves. Each figure had a great name and a story, for example see the link to Note Nibbler.
