Traveling north  by happypat

Traveling north

Harry & I went to Cathy's house this afternoon, him to spray her green mossy bits on the drive with Algon & Cathy & I to have a walk along the River Brock to Barton Grange.
A lovely afternoon for a walk & I took this photo on the pedestrian bridge spanning the main west coast railway line. We used to just be able to walk across if the lights were not on red but after a spate of suicides they built this massive bridge.
You can see the M6 as it travels north towards Lancaster & Scotland.

Three good things:
1. I defrosted the freezer.
2. A nice clean chip pan.
3. My neck has improved over the last two days. I am using my iPad sensibly & rubbing in Voltarol.
This is the point where the M6 gets scenic and I start sighing about living in a flat place.

Lovely wide view across the rural landscape! The road as expected looks busy. That moss on driveways is so hard to move. I used to pour boiling water on it and it died immediately! Just remembered that and will do it on present driveway! Countdown......

Gorgeous Countryside. I like the blue and greens.

A lovely rural scene with the sheep peacefully grazing -- even the motorway adds to the scene with the pop of orange coloured wagons passing along ! A lovely walk for the two of you ! and glad to hear that your neck is getting better !

Looks a lovely place for a walk even with the motorway going past. The M6 is my favourite motorway for the views!! Good to hear your neck has improved!!

@judithg Yes it's so pretty from Lancaster onwards isn't it Judith? I particularly love the Howgils. When I used to visit my aunt in Hexham & travel home in the evening the light as you drove over was amazing.

@maggiemae Cathy had a go at power washing but it brought the Tarmac up. Algon is very good & Harry does it for them each year. I would think you have something similar!

@beryl It all looked lovely & green & I liked the colours of the trucks as they drove past. The sheep were well used to them.

i think you've shown us the bridge before on your 365 Pat. It is a larger version of the tram bridge I walk across at Basford :)

Nice landscape :)

Lovely clear day. ...I need a good walk like that. And very interested in Harry's spraying job as we have too much green on our drive too!

Lovely light, glad the neck's improving.

A sparkling day with lovely long shadows. I hope your iPad appreciated the Voltarol! Ha ha!

Looking so very green Pat. Pleased your neck is improving it's been going on for long enough now and you need to be fit for your trip!

must have been a lovely walk Pat. beautiful scenery. It always seems a shame to have your busy motorways slicing through the countryside but I guess everyone needs to get somewhere as fast as possible.
