A while ago,someone suggested pics of our own areas,so here are mine…and although I have posted a few of The Colne Valley,this is a regular walk nearer to our home..We did catch a local bus to the highest part,only a 5 minute journey,but a bit of a climb..and so we weren’t out of breath before we started..and it went all downhill from there,but in a nice way.! Lol.
A view towards Huddersfield and the route we had just travelled from..


Still enjoying the scenery,across to the other side of the Valley..before starting our descent to the bottom.


They say all roads lead to Rome..but not here :o)


Hello Gorgeous..love the earrings !

Not far now,and the first views of Slaithwaite,where The Hairy Bikers did their filming..

The houses you can see behind the Church is where I lived as a child..

That is the end of our lovely walk,so it was time for a Coffee on the ‘Floating tearoom’ Barge,on the canal in the village,and then a short bus ride home,almost to the door..hope I didn’t tire you out..:o)

What beautiful countryside you live in Bloomer and what a treat to have such lovely sunny weather now. It almost makes up for the miserable summer and maybe it will make winter seem not so long. Lovely pics and thanks very much for the guided tour, I almost feelt I was there :o))

25 Oct, 2011

 

I love cows too,Pixi..I bet she was thinking'What is that silly moo looking at?'.Lol.
Thank you Lily..glad you enjoyed it..I must say ,it gets pretty wild up on the tops..so we try and pick a calm day to do that walk..and most other places here,but the views make up for it.:o)
Thanks Michaella...We wouldn't want to live anywhere else..love visiting other places,but like most of us,there is
nowhere like home.:o)
Thank you Terra..we are never stuck for somewhere to go..There are some lovely walks..and still a lot to try..:o)
I can't argue with that,Frybo..it is beautiful..thank you..
That's a good idea,Carole..you never know..we might get the chance before then..weather permitting..there are other places to get a nice scone in Slaithwaite.trust me,you wouldn't go without ! Lol.

Lovely scenery, of Yorkshire thanks for taking us with you.

26 Oct, 2011

 

Lovely scenery you have up there...

Thank you,Carol and Holly..it's not too bad is it ? :o))

26 Oct, 2011

 

Looks very nice... lovely countryside... miss that living next to the sea.

26 Oct, 2011

 

We can't have it all ways,Holly,as I love looking at the sea as well..but wouldn't want to move,and I guess,neither would you.:o)

26 Oct, 2011

 

I miss Yorkshire. :o((((

26 Oct, 2011

 

Wonderful pictures Bloomer, like Ginellie the only place in Yorkshire I have visited is Richmond. We had already decided that Yorkshire was a place we wanted to see more of next spring and your blog has made me more determined to do so.

26 Oct, 2011

 

I'm sure you do,Gattina..but at least you are in a beautiful place,in a lovely country..and you have your nice memories..but I think I know what you mean...
Thank you,Stroller..I do hope you manage a nice break in Yorkshire,and so much choice of places to see..:o)

26 Oct, 2011

 

It's no good, Sandra, we're going to have to take a holiday in Yorkshire ... thanks to your lovely blogs we realise how much beauty there is to be found! ... The only place I ever visited in Yorkshire when we lived in Chesterfield (briefly) was Sheffield ... less than impressed ... :o(

27 Oct, 2011

 

Yes, we are very lucky and we do live in a lovely country, Bloomer, but it's a bit like someone saying "You can only ever drink wine for the rest of your life." Wine's nice, but my Goodness, wouldn't you miss having a nice cuppa tea?

27 Oct, 2011

 

Lovely pictures, Bloomer. We had a couple of holidays up there and absolutely loved it. Great scenery and some very pretty villages...

28 Oct, 2011

 

You come from a beautiful place.

30 Oct, 2011

 

Sorry,Shirley,Gattina,Breda and Hywel..I have finally caught up with your comments,as they were posted while
I was away..thank you..
Shirley..there are some lovely places around Sheffield too,if you know where to look! Lol.Just drive 'oop North' another hour..will have the kettle on .:o)
I agree,Gattina..couldn't wait for a decent cuppa...we were drinking 'dishwater' type stuff,for a week!..Call in with Shirley..I will get another posh'visitor cup' out.Lol.
Glad you enjoyed it,Breda..whereabouts did you visit? We are still finding lots of places we haven't been to yet..
Thank you Hywel..and you know all about beautiful places,living where you are..lucky,aren't we ? :o)

9 Nov, 2011
