Today we laid to rest a true soulie. It was a privilege to call les ( Libby ) a friend. A massive thanks to everyone that came to pay there last respects from many corners of the country. RIP Les. Steve

Hope as many soulies as possible can make it tomorrow to give les the send off he deserves. Steve

Where did that Tommy hunt patch come from I went the casino from 75 thru till it closed in 81 and I have never seen that Tommy hunt Wigan patch in my life. Steve

Dave it looks like we posted at exactly the same time. Steve

Russell. Dave the man for the flowers mate. Nice pictures by the way Steve

That's got to be a misplaced decimal point and zero surely Steve

Heard a chiffchaff singing this morning. And I heard but couldn't see what sounded like a flock of parakeets flyover. Apparently there's quite a few in the Manchester area Steve

Off topic but Best buy for me was a manfrotto pro tripod and three way pan and tilt head £10 over £200 New. Back on topic I didn't know there was a volume three Steve

Seen House Martin's today in the Heywood Area. Steve

Seen three Swallows today flying in a southerly direction. Can't see there being many more sighting from the Manchester/ Cheshire area's Steve

September's the month for daddy long legs. Get a few early Aug then they tend to peak this month before the first frosts kill them off. Fish especially trout love them and can be caught quiet readily on a imitation daddy long legs fly. In Ireland they use the live adults in a method called dapping which basically involves hooking the fly gently so it's still alive then lowering it onto the waters surface so that it looks like it's landed naturally to fool the trout into taking the bait. Steve

Steve. I will say it for you. I like it and would have said about £150/ £200 Steve

Russ. Never even thought of anyone would be still doing this. But with today's technologies bet you could make some superb recordings.so Andy , Butch, etc if you see me stood next to the stage next time your DJ,ing I'm listening and not recording your set's. Honestly. Not like back in the day trying to get a cassette recorder on the stage at Wigan and having batteries for the thing which was probably the hardest part. Steve

Thank you kind sir. Steve

Spider picture taken this morning to make sure all the setting where ok before I set of on my travels after yesterdays fiasco with image stabilisation Steve

Ade. I can make it out if I enlarge the picture. nice one Steve

The last Swallows of summer ? Taken today flying high over the horseshoe pass above Llangollen Steve

Supremes. Manhattan's.Terry Callier . Brenda Holloway.The list is endless. ps forgot about jnr walker at the casino Steve

Nolan chance. Just like the weather. Constellation. $598 what's that in real money. Whatever it is it seem expensive. Would have thought about £250 but hey what do I know apart from its a class record. Steve
