Cheshire by Tony Via Flickr: from the central ridge in Cheshire looking North.On the Horizon, over the Cheshire Plane can be seen Liverpool and slightly left, The Wirral where I live.

Cheshire Plane by Tony Via Flickr: Most of Cheshire is pretty flat. with the exception of Helsby hill and the Cheshire ridge. Both are 'humps' of harder sandstone that stick up above the surrounding area. During the ice age the glaciers scoured the land flat but the harder stone was left behind. In this Pano looking North West, the Welsh hills can be seen to the left and merseyside and Lancashire to the right. I live just right of center over the horizon.

Holstein Friesians by Tony Via Flickr: Up to the 18th century, the British Isles imported Dutch cattle, using them as the basis of several breeds in England and Scotland. The breed currently averages 7655 litres/year throughout 3.2 lactations, with pedigree animals averaging 8125 litres/year over an average of 3.43 lactations. By adding, lifetime production therefore stands at around 26,000 litres. Such a large amount of milk, but being lactose intolerant the cow juice is not for me.

Man of the wood by Tony Via Flickr: The Green man dates back to pre-Christian times and has a symbolic association with fertility and rebirth. uncanny resemblance though.
