Had a pleasant drive through the Yorkshire Dales with Barbara. We stopped to have a look at Bolton Castle in Wensleydale. The castle was built around 1380 by Richard le Scrope the Lord Chancellor. It was also where Mary, Queen of Scots (1542 – 1587) was imprisoned in 1568 for 6 months.

A close finish for 3rd place
We had another successful Duck Race on the River Lostock in Whittle-le-Woods. Low river flow and high winds made the ducks retreat back up the river at times.

While on a pleasant evening walk along the old Lancaster canal I saw this mallard and brood
I've been away in Nepal since the middle of Apr so that's why there's not much to see here.
