A Silver Lining (and some Christmassy Pictures)

 We are in a mild period of winter weather just now.  It has become my habit to go to the roof room and attempt the Daily Telegraph crosswords for enjoyment justified as brain training,  The other morning this was the scene which greeted my arrival by lift.  A patch of sunshine to the west with a heavy cloud above it - but with a silver lining:





















What a view eh?  I put it on Facebook and it is getting lots of likes and shares.  Not as many though as this set of pictures of a deserted but Christmassy Settle earlier this week as I walked home with the town to myself from Townhead surgery.  311 likes and rising. View them in reverse order to follow my route and click on any pic to enlarge:

  1. Congratulations on a beautiful restoration. What a wonderful job you undertook. I'm in Australia and have seen the episode of Restoration Man 3 times. Only one negative - hate the colour of stairs going to the tower. A very happy Christmas to you.

  2. Thank you for watching three times despite the stairs. They are that colour of blue to match the blue of the metalwork at the line's southern terminus - London St Pancras. Actually it's a Dulux colour - nothing fancy. That's our secret - don't tell another soul!
