I went to Keighley Road Surgery, first thing, to let a nurse type, practice her needlework skills taking some red stuff out of my arm.
On the 'way home' I stopped to have a quick look at Raggalds Flood.
4 Mallard and C15 Gulls were there when I arrived, they were complimented by a good few Gulls arriving by air just as I was leaving.
I did not see anything out of the ordinary.
Mid-morning we caught the 10:10am bus to Keighley soon followed by the bus to Hebden Bridge.
A look around a few shops at Hebden was followed by a mince pie and a walk along the canal to the Blue Teapot café for a snack.
We continued along the canal to Luddenden Foot before catching a couple of buses to near Bradshaw and a walk home - nearly dark on or arrival home.
A very enjoyable outing, given all the poor weather of late.
