We enjoyed a short walk along the Thornton Railway track this morning from the Thornton end to the Queensbury tunnel and back.
Plenty of birds and bird song along here on a bright-ish , dry day.
After lunch we took Emma to Specsavers - a lengthy process .
While the ladies were in the Goggle Shop I wandered about the streets taking in all sides of the Square Chapel.
Afterwards I sat in the sun in the Piece Hall with a coffee and a doughnut from Greggs awaiting their arrival.
Late afternoon I had a short pre-tea sky watch - quite pleasant in the sunshine.
