The southern end of Morecambe Bay: Knott End-on-Sea. Look dead center on the horizon and you can make out the two power stations at Heysham.

There's not much here now, but up to the 1950s it was a popular holiday destination. Tastes change, and people seem to demand 'attractions' and warmer weather.

The butcher in the village has some awesome meat, much of it local. The cheesemonger was well-stocked. The hardware shop was full of all sorts of interesting things, and some were even useful. The breeze was sharp, even in July, so I found a charity shop and bought a nice sweater - and a load of photo printing paper, some bail jars and a barometer for my friend; an unexpected haul! Proceeds go to the local hospice, which is good. A pot of tea and a sandwich in Ralph's Cafe was just the restorative I needed. Too soon for fish and chips, tho' the chippy looked excellent. Tourism is not quite dead. What else is there to see, I wonder?
