And so you should blush, Tonker! That’s a pic of a hospital - ‘horse pickle’. Anyway, it’s certainly pickling it down today.
Here’s hoping it isn’t so rainy on the 1st July.

It’s 40 years ago today - 1st Aug - that our local hospice first opened its doors!
Back then, its premises was a former Poolstock vicarage overlooking Scotmans Flash.
The current building in Hindley was purpose-built and opened in 1997.
