I have to put these wonderful wicker Soldiers on - they are to commemorate the Chorley Pals and all the people that have lost their lives in wars, it is one hundred years since the first world war - lots of people are actively making people aware of this.

These are all near the Chorley Pals Memorial

Damp Morning 

We went out for dinner and called at the Cemetery on the way back to look how the ponds were doing, they were set up a few years ago and now look like they have been there forever.

 Plenty of plants in and around - 

 Water Avens - Geum rivale, planted and a few in the area, not one that we find growing wild in this area, although not impossible.

Water Plantain - Alisma plantago-aquatica, we get this in our local ponds growing wild, the treat was the Water Horsetail - Equisetum fluviatile the two thin stalks in the middle of the plantain, not a rarity as we see it a lot on the canal
