On our doorstep… !

Well 200 steps away!

 

Looking out over Stacksteads, and towards Bacup (pronounced Bake-up).

In the distance some red roofed houses can be seen, these are the exception for roofs here in east Lancashire, mainly roofs are made with blue slate. The red clay ones are becoming more popular with the sky high prices of blue slate, and the ease of use of clay ones.

With a blue slate only about a 1/3 of it is visible when in situ. The last time I bought some decent quality 2nd hand ones (2008) T they were £1.30 each - at that you’re not guaranteed that they’ll all be good.

 

We usually have a brief stop here at this gate, just to have a look across the valley.

I love the tractor just stopped in the field, it’s been there a couple of weeks now.

I love the wind turbines on the hills too, there’s some behind me as I took this shot too.

 

Happy fence Friday everybody ! #HFF
