Photograph, of our snowy village bowling green, it was taken on our daily morning walk through the village heading towards Cowbury Dale. Lockdown three restricts our ability to go much further than is required for exercise – unless you selfishly choose to do so. Fortunately we are blessed with fantastic views and walks around our village of Carrbrook.
I spent a pleasant couple of hours walking around Stamford Park with my camera – having last visited here about five years ago!
Stamford Park lies on the boundary between Ashton and Stalybridge. In 1865, local mill owner Abel Harrison died and his home, Highfield House, and its extensive grounds, on the border between Ashton and Stalybridge, were bought by the two towns. Neighbouring land was donated by the Earl of Stamford and the whole area was landscaped to become Stamford Park. The former mill reservoir known as Chadwick Dams was incorporated into the park in 1891. The reservoir was divided in two by an embankment, with the southern section becoming the present boating lake. The park now includes tennis courts, putting and bowling greens, an aviary with a variety of birds, a children's playground and paddling pool.
For a high school bowling banquet. Pins cut from fondant; customer wanted the ball made without the finger holes.
The Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway was a railway company in Scotland. It was promoted independently but supported by the Caledonian Railway, and it was designed to connect Balloch (on Loch Lomond) and Dumbarton with central Glasgow, linking in heavy industry on the north bank of the River Clyde. From Dumbarton to Balloch the line would have closely duplicated an existing railway, and negotiation led to the latter being made jointly operated, and the L&DR terminated immediately east of Dumbarton, trains continuing on the joint section.

Bowling… is a village in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, with a population of 740 (2015). It lies on the north bank of the Firth of Clyde, between the towns of Clydebank and Dumbarton. It is 1 1⁄2 miles (2.5 kilometres) west of Old Kilpatrick which is at one end of the Antonine Wall and therefore represents the extreme limit of the Roman Empire on the west coast of the island of Great Britain.

… the trail proceeds west along the north of the River Clyde, through Dumbarton to Loch Lomond at Balloch. Quoted from Wikipedia
Added hard edge filter from RawTherapee. My third trip to Bowling Ball in 1 year, no luck for the first two trips, either the tide was too high, or the rocks were covered by seaweed, but this week I checked the tide and sunset time before I went, perfect!
So weird to think there's only 8 more days until the 365 is over... What should I do with all the free time I'll have? Maybe I'll go and sit in a park and feed birds :)
