Purple hills

Purple heather on the long line of distant fells.

Three good things:
1. Eleven beds worth of sheets ironed while watching Lauren Bacall in North West Frontier.
2. A lie in.
2. I have sent my photo off to the local paper for the competition.

This photo looks fabulous against the black! They extend so far across the hills which is nice to know but I expect the scent doesn't do so! Have got to go and watch a grandson in the pool so can't do much commenting and also, my pictures crash on the internet connection here trying to post!

Beautiful, good luck with the competition.

[Jocasta]

Such beautiful colours. I like the panoramic format. too.

[Alison Tomlin]

Love the wide view. Well I think you need to ditch the ironing and go for a romp in that heather!

[Judith Greenwood]

Beautiful! I'm feeling like I need to find some heather. Kudos with the ironing....

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast @judithg I couldn't make up the last bed as had run out of sheets.....thinking of all the cash in the drawer!

[Judith Johnson]

It wasn't raining all day out your way then? Hope you didn't have all the 11 guests in at once - no not enough beds! Good luck with the competition.

[Judith Johnson]

PS. Forgot to say how much I like your picture. Was this the one you sent in for the competition?

Another lovely shot Pat, keep them coming if as I would love to see more... we don't have anything like this around here, though the sth Island has wild lupins around the lakes... on my bucket list to see and photograph that one day..

[Dixie Goode]

Heather always makes me think of Narnia, as I haven't seen it in real life.

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady over two nights Judith......no rain today at all! Oh I am wrong Harry has just been out & it's raining!

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady no I sent the one called farmhouse in the heather but Jack just edited for me a little by making the house slightly bigger.

[Pat Knowles]

[Judith Greenwood]

I normally get them for comments as well but I haven't had any since about 15 min after I posted tonight - weird!

[Pat Knowles]

[Rick Schies]

[Myrna O'Hara]

[Jane Anderson]

I wish I were on the judging team for the newspaper photography competition. I know which photo I would choose!

[Sue Wilde]

Beautiful low lines

[bkb in the city]

love that colour

[Andrea]

Lovely 😊

[Maggie]

I can't get enough of your purple hills - I had no idea that Lancashire had such beautiful countryside.

[Hazel]

A beautiful scenic shot. 11 beds worth of sheets ironed - omg - I don't even do ours. I'd never make a B&B landlady as I can't always keep the eggs whole when cooking them either! Good luck with the photo!

[JH]

Stop ironing sheets!
