Mrs Vino and I had lunch yesterday sat outside a small tapas bar here overlooking the Med in the sunshine. You will be pleased to know however that today it has been raining all day long. I do love to go back to the Burnley area when I can, but the thought of that snow, no thanks brrrrr.

Re: For our Posters
I think I have posted this on here before but it's a little bit of trivia. When we say "Pendle Hill", we are actually saying "hill hill hill". It stems originally from the Cumbric word pen for hill. In the 13th century the Old English word hyll meaning hill was added an it was known as Penhyll. In more modern times this became Pendle, to which was added Hill to form Pendle Hill.

And that's white over this week as well; bloody cold at the top of it on Monday too! Personally, if I've got to walk on white ground, my preference is still for a white sand Bahamanian or Fijian beach.conyoviejo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 9:12 pmThere is a "Penhill" near Leyburn in Wensleydale ..

Re: For our Posters
picture perfect, could be on a postcard, do miss it, the family have been showing me so knew what was going but love the picture.
Clear blue skies as the sun comes up over downtown right now, 8 degrees, going to be chilly when I go for my walk at a high for the day of 13 degrees

Just brilliant. I feel I’m home whenever I see Pendle which is not often enough these days.

Re: For our Posters
Yeah i supppse so. Some of these words have more than one translation, or we don't always know what the word was originally
But wick can definitely mean hill, I believe, as in Appletreewick
Although I cant find any evidence on google of Pendlewick hill now
Edit. And now I look at Appletreewick on Wikipedia im not sure about that either. Although that came directly from a geography teacher who lived in Wharfedale so who knows...

Re: For our Posters
Wick in place names simply means village or hamlet. It is a Germanic borrowing from the Latin vicus for village.
