Flaming June - well it has been very warm and pleasant at times. Perfect for the farmers who managed a first cut then we had a cooler week with some rain to make it grow all again for a second mowing in August.
I do like to see the tractors busy and loads of hay going down the lanes.
Me and Little Bess had a different walk back today and I came upon this

a little home-made plant stall. How sweet and there were all sorts of lovely and unusual plants. And only 50 pence each.
There were hollyhocks, purple woodruff, love-in-a-mist, borage, sunflowers and cucumber plants. A few more I can't just recall - as I didn't have any money with me I will pop back down today in my little mini and indulge myself - I don't reeeally need anymore plants but at that price who could refuse? 
There is a note saying to please put your money in the box hung up on the right. How quaint and old-fashioned but lovely to see people still use £honesty boxes".
This is the cottage door...

and this is the lane it is on ...

which leads us under the railway viaduct before we get onto the canal towpath...

Bess and her stick  - she never tires of sticks,

This aquaduct over the Leeds to Liverpool canal is known as "Periwinkle Bridge" due to it's amazing design.
Bye for now, enjoy the fine weather,
