Bonkle

Well, the hill behind Bonkle to be precise. We were through that way to visit an old friend, sometime blipper and Maddy's namesake.

It was great to see her. We headed off to a really eccentric garden centre and antique shop on the other side of Newmains for a look then took the dogs out for a walk up the hill before being treated to Chinese for dinner.

In addition to all that I've promised Maddy (not our Maddy) some lessons with her new camera and some Photoshop lessons and as a thank you she'd got me a fantastic vintage tweed jacket. It was the perfect size and will no doubt feature on here in the very near future.

A great day all in all.

The posts in the shot are called the story posts and were put up on the hill by the local primary school.
