#winesonwednesday Welcoming the summer.

We're going to start a campaign to make #InternationalMuseumDay a bank holiday. We'd also like to say hello to the two volunteer run museums in Barnsley, Cawthorne Victoria Jubilee Museum and the Maurice Dobson Museum & Heritage Centre

And the Maurice Dobson museum is great too, as much a community hub as a museum.

Tie of the day. Like purple rain. On my way to the museum. @Darfieldmuseum we are open today 10.00am to 2.00pm. See you all there.

On my way to talk to Darfield WI.

#thicktrunktuesday A view in Elsecar park yesterday.

The bard of Barnsley Is out and about round town Fewer haiku's now.

Another good walk around Elsecar and the Park. The Ginko tree is doing really well and the bandstand looks glorious in the sun. Ending with tea and toast in the Cottage Kitchen.

A lovely start to Sunday evening

Tie of the day. A vision in blue.

No haiku today Nothing to inspire the mind Maybe tomorrow.

Nice Rioja for Sunday.

Tie of the day. Going for gold.

From the hall to the landing, Not a sound could be heard, The stairs become more demanding, A lift would be preferred.

Outdoors in the late afternoon sun, The early evening chorus begins to fade, The days many formidable tasks are done, For this there is nothing I would trade.

Today a very well earned Merlot.

Tie of the day. On my way to the museum, hope to see you there. Darfield museum open from 10.00am to 2.00pm, for tea, coffee, cake and tours.

Back on the baize It's never ending, I'm full of praise Best wishes I'm sending Although it is slow The skill is outstanding, Putting on a super show Most of the shots are landing.

He plays left handed Then changes to right, The commentator keeps Telling us the pockets are tight. The points add up Just enough to win, The tables reset I'm having a gin.

Watching snooker Like watching paint dry, I continue to watch And then wonder why. A red ball is potted Followed by a black, Another red sinks I'd give it a whack.

Sticking with the French, just changing the glass.

Celebrating the start of a new week.

In the heritage centre, my favourite bench.

The park in full bloom.

Band stand in the sun.

Elsecar park today. Reaching for the sky, the Ginko tree.
