The Rochdale Canal is certainly very beautiful. We have been travelling up a very narrow valley with steep hills on both sides. Lovely stone cottages are dotted amongst the wooden hillsides and the sun shone all day. Perfect.
After a very noisy night in Hebden Bridge last night (the local youths were having a party in the park) we decided to stop off just before reaching Todmorden today. We found a lovely spot just before the town.
I walked into Todmorden (market day) and saw these ducklings with their mother. There were actually 13 of them, so they must be newly hatched and looked the Heinz 57 varieties.
We saw only one other boat on the move, and that was a hire boat from Soweby Bridge that must have left yesterday afternoon.
I don't seem to do many stamped cards. Too lazy I suppose. I made this little cutie some time ago. I is stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with watercolours, then matted onto gold, red and white card. I trimmed the white card with decorative scissors and the stuck the whole thing onto a blue card blank.
The sentiment is a peel-off and was matted in the same colour-way as the image.
