@witchyjacq Thank you for the comment and fav Jacqui. I suppose a little credit must go to Lucy who told me to look back where we had been. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@bkbinthecity There are some lovely buildings and scenery by the canal. I like the old buildings that have been looked after and converted to another use once their industrial life has ended. Some are now flats and there are a couple of restaurants. Katharine

@rossevs It was certainly beautiful in the sunshine, although it has its attractions in the rain too. I am going to miss my extended stays in Lancaster when Lucy finishes University here. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@malc Thanks Malc. I am glad Lucy prompted me to look back and catch this view. Katharine
