Dandelions on the park
Each springtime the little park between Sumpter Croft and the bridle path which stretches between Studholme Crescent and Winslow Close is awash with dandelions - no doubt South Ribble Borough Council will come along shortly and chop them all off !!!

Autumn leaves on the park
I took a walk this afternoon across the little park by our bridle path...in the spring, this grass is covered with dandelions. Today it was covered with leaves!

The bridle path between Studholme Crescent and Winslow Close
This little footpath/bridle path runs alongside the little park, on the left, and the old farmhouse of Studholme Farm. The white cottages on the right are on Giller Drive, and are old farm workers' cottages. The big tree in the middle is a protected tree, of historical importance, and is home to many a magpie !!

Our "non-existent" road !!
I have only just noticed that our little road, containing just 4 bungalows, appears to have been omitted from the Ordnance Survey map, but it IS here, I can assure you, and has been since 1960 !!!

The back garden becomes a building site...
This lovely back garden continues to be cleared, ready for a couple of large houses to be plonked on it...see
Image for a previous view, taken on 27th August. Little do the greedy builders know that this garden is prone to flooding.....

The ruination of a perfectly good back garden
This used to be a beautiful back garden with trees and shrubs belonging to one of the cottages on Gillar Drive, until some builders got their hands on it, seeing it not as a garden but as a building plot. The garden had no access, but they have been allowed to come down here and turn our peaceful little close into a building site. It's a disgrace.......

Pathway from Bee Lane to Sumpter Croft
This public pathway is a convenient shortcut if you need to get from Bee Lane to Sumpter Croft and back again. As it's not lit, it's a bit spooky at night though!
