The North Euston Hotel is a hotel in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. It was built 1840–41, to a design by Decimus Burton. During the second half of the 19th century, the building was used by the War Department as a School of Musketry; by the end of the century it had reverted to its original purpose. The hotel has been designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage. (Wiki)
The beautiful little village of Hornby is only about ten minutes away from our holiday home in north Lancashire. There is a combined tearoom and post office here, as well as a splendid village shop. The buildings pictured are just along the main road from those. The white building on the far left comprises two houses. Then the one with the blue door is originally one house that has been divided into two flats. All these date from the 1700s and are Grade II-listed.

It will be listed on Ebay on Saturday evening..

Looking at this photo this morning, I imagined an 80 year old checking off their bucket list of one day skydiving. Yes, I need more coffee and my glasses.

Vlkolínec, situated in the centre of Slovakia, is a remarkably intact settlement of 45 buildings with the traditional features of a central European village. It is the region’s most complete group of these kinds of traditional log houses, often found in mountainous areas. Vlkolínec is small community part of the town of Ružomberok. It was historically referred to as a street of Ružomberok, yet is situated about 7 kilometres from the town itself, in the mountains of the northern part of central Slovakia. It is a remarkably well preserved rural medieval settlement featuring wooden architecture typical of hillside and mountain areas. Its layout, defined in part by the hilly terrain of the mountains of Veľká Fatra, features log houses situated on narrow lots with stables, barns and smaller outbuildings in the rear. A canalized stream flows through the centre of the village. The surrounding landscape is formed by narrow strips of fields and pastures with haylofts.

Yesterday, I wrote a shopping list and then I went for shopping with a beloved friend! It was raining, but rain couldn't stop us! I bought some home decorations and things I need for my hobby, the painting! It's been a long time since I bought something for my self! Shopping with friends! Duble joy! :-)
The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. Since opening in 1864, it has been a toll bridge, the income from which provides funds for its maintenance. The bridge is built to a design by William Henry Barlow and John Hawkshaw,[2] based on an earlier design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is a grade I listed building and forms part of the B3129 road.
This was the first shot I took when joining Muddy Boots and Pete Rowbottam for an evening trip to Lytham to capture this wreck of "Celestial Dawn", before it is eventually dragged off to Liverpool for a refit and makeover!
Whilst the light here isn't as spectacular as the sunset a little later, the yacht itself actually looks more forelorn as it is listing sideways more as the tide was lower when we first got there. I also liked a little more of the foreground mud leading to the boat itself. Sorry for posting one more of this, but I liked it!

And taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat
In the still of the night...."

FLASHBACK!
ANTELOPE CANYON
PAGE, ARIZONA
A bucket list that remains unfulfilled!
Two nieces of mine decided to take me to Antelope Canyon when they found out it was in my bucket list. We flew to Las Vegas then drove to Arizona together with their folks and another sister. The weather looked fine but when we got there, one of the guides told us we couldn't go because there was a flashflood. Apparently, 2 of 7 photographers lost their lives in the canyon from a flashflood a few years prior. We were told we can wait so we decided to drive around the area and each time we went back, we were told, it was a no go! Under those threatening clouds was where I wanted to be! Finally, it was too late in the afternoon, and we had to drive back to Las Vegas!
This trip remains in my Bucket List!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!

Arkholme is a pretty little village in the north of Lancashire that overlooks the valley of the River Lune. There are some 30 listed buildings in the parish, and by far the majority of these are in the main road that leads down to the parish church and the river. One of the buildings in this road is this cottage known as The Nook. It is not a listed building, so I have no details, but it has a late Georgian or Early Victorian appearance. The windows would suggest the latter.
40122 pulls away from the British Gypsum works at Kirkby Thore with a long rake of empty Covhops bound for Carlisle Yard. 9T57, Midland Line shunt and trip, 24 March 1987. At this time, before the construction of the current rail terminal and opening of Kirkby Thore signal box, the works was served through a ground frame known as McGhie’s Sidings. The Covhops were used to transport Perlite, a volcanic mineral which I believe was mined in Sardinia and shipped into Workington. The trip working ran as required and also conveyed MoD traffic to Warcop. Scan from 35mm Kodak T-Max 400 neg.

The weather was somewhat clear while I was stuck in the office this morning so when it came time to go grab a coffee I took the long way to the coffee shop to see what I could see.
I could hear a cardinal off in the distance, but he wasn't interested in posing for my camera, but luckily for me, this guy was more than happy to stop and pose.
The rain started just as I was leaving work, but that means I don't need to water my lawn so I'm okay with this. Always a fan of having one less thing to do on my to-do list.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

My 1936 Lister 'D' type stationary engine 125428 at the Andover Silver Jubilee Rally in June 1977 which, apart from celebrating the Queen's 25th year as Monarch was coincidentally the 25th steam rally held at Andover. As you can see it is raining and judging by the boys' parka and duffle coat would seem to suggest it was very cool for June as well.

In the 1970s I worked as a Residential Social Worker and as weekends were usually a busy time for me, the only chance I had of attending rallies was if some of the lads came with me. Three (sometimes four) of them became regulars enjoying the vintage scene with me on a weekend. Inevitably it rained, parkas and old jeans or shorts were the usual rally uniform for the boys, and wellington boots saved cleaning mucky shoes or trainers on our return home!
The boys pictured here were two of my regular rally assistants at that time and had travelled with me from London to attend this rally. They are sitting in a make-shift shelter constructed from a wind-break with a waterproof sheet over the top.

The Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was considered to be the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185. The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir (St. Hugh's Choir) and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style.
The cathedral is the 3rd largest in Britain after St Paul's and York Minster, being 484 feet by 271 feet. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate. Accompanying the cathedral's large bell, Great Tom of Lincoln, is a quarter-hour striking clock.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral, including the rebuilding of the central tower and spire.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.
