Emma and Abi to entertain today and I had my usual walk up the local fields while Abi got her act together. We called at White Windows mid-afternoon and we all enjoyed a late lunch in Sowerby Bridge Wetherspoons.
Sue dropped me at Jay House Lane on her way to dropping Abi back home at Heckmondwike.
I enjoyed a leisurely stroll down Jay House Lane before being picked up again at the bottom.
A narrow road with blind bends, needs care when walking down it ,with some loony drivers about this late afternoon!
I finished the birding with an evening stroll up the local fields.
