Today on my walks I ended up in the village of Addingham. A small prosperous place with a shop, several pubs and plenty of traditional cottages and posh new housing estates.
Cottages with what looks like a traditional telephone box.
But it is in fact one of the new free libraries that are springing up. Where you can take a book and leave your own books
The village church of course.
One of the people I spoke with.
Parks and cottages.
On the way home on this humid day, I took a bus which was full of people and it stank like a public toilet.
Another hot sunny day.
I have to be very careful where I walk.
The heat is definitely having an effect on these sheep.
My favourite forest photo of the day.
Flood warnings in a Riverside park. The irony is that today we're in a drought and the flowerbeds in the park could do with some rain
This town has a Maypole. Wonder what kind of pagan rituals take place around it!
Also a second hand bookstore. These have become increasingly rare. I spent much of my teenage years in libraries and second hand bookshops. They were a safe place of refuge from the outside world.
And finally another unwelcoming public house.
