Being brought up as a softy southerner, it took me a while to adjust to the weather 'up north'. I swear it rains every day in Lancashire! It didn't take long though for me fall in love with the beautiful Ribble Valley countryside with its dry-stone walls. I even had a go at building walls in my own in my garden - till my back gave way!
When I look at this lonely stone wall picture now, it brings back memories of a rather sad period in my life when I was first trying to cope as a single parent.
