A few days in Yorkshire

Back home again now. We've just spent a few days in Yorkshire in a lovely cottage in Holme, near Holmfirth. We booked it last Friday as a last minute deal: it was excellent. We had spent the weekend in Southport where our daughter was visiting her fiance, and drove over to the cottage on Monday. On the way we stopped at Scarisbrick to see how the new marina is progressing. It's supposed to be open soon: there's water, but it still looks quite a way off being finished.

More canal pics to come. Well, we were close to the Huddersfield Narrow, after all.
