Mist Rolling In From The Moors

I went to Bolton today to visit my mum. It was her 81st birthday.

I took her for a pub lunch in Belmont, just outside Bolton.

This is the view from the pub car park...mist rolling in from the West Pennine moors,

It was a damp, drizzly day with mist on the hills. Not conducive for good pics.

You cannot see the top of the hills here for the mist.

Reminds me of the song ''Mull of Kyntire'' Phil! I love a bit of mist !!! Happy birthday to your mum, glad you gave her a good day out! Looks a nice typical northern shot of beautiful moor country!

Yes, it reminds me of Mull of Kintyre too! I'm singing it. Glad your Mum enjoyed her day out despite the mist rolling in!

Not conducive to flipping May really Phil! Very atmospheric though. My mum is 80 in July - need to talk to my sister about suitable celebratory activity!
