One of the bits of town that's due to be developed. By whom and for what purpose is moot.

Marked for restoration. Cast iron, so it won't be easy.

From my archive - a chance conversation today reminded me of this place, which was established in 1974.

I would go here as a teenager with my friend after a night on the town. Fresh beigels at 5 am - no problem. Just get there.

These days we would have smartphones, and order online in advance:

Make memories every day so you can look back on them.

The path ends at this kissing gate. I just love their simplicity and function purpose, and the skill with which they are made.

Tomorrow, April 23rd, is Saint George's Day in England.*

 

Supposedly, the National Day; and yet, looking around, you'd never know it. Maybe the English would prefer to revert to the original patron saint, Saint Edmund, a genuine English martyr, killed by the invading Vikings.

 

So, four candles - not to be confused with fork handles. But the sketch in the link below sort of crystalizes a kind of English humour (note spelling) that I love (and where would the English be without a laugh?):

Happy Saint George's Day.

 

*I am deeply indebted to a kind friend who reminded me that Saint George's Day falls on 23rd of April (and not the 22nd as I had thought!)

A former mill that's been re-purposed as housing. The June sky overhead looks ominous.

I made this yesterday for 40 and had some left over. Soup is always better on the second day! It is easy to make, and fairly cheap, too. This all took about 40 minutes to produce, including veg prep. I am blessed to have a food processor to do all the heavy chopping.

I love the fans that the white mosaic makes.

The buddleia is almost over, yet still perfumed like honey. A small white has lunch.

Manuka, mud, water and steam. Ingredients for healthy skin. Just find a cool part!

Mt Ruapehu, 6 years ago to the day. Seasons change and so do we.

Taking a break in the sunshine this morning I noticed how this sandstone block had been chiselled a long time ago. I liked how the light caught these marks.

The pom pom seed heads have burst open to reveal these yellow flowers that sit like Ottoman turbans.

One of several Grade II listed shelters on Blackpool promenade. Most of them are over 100 years old.

One of my favorite baristas brought out her camera. An actual camera! I had a play with it and was heartened by how easy it was to use.

 

Over edited from Raw, I loved the contrast between her red hair and the green wall and plants.

The footbridge at Arnside was installed in 1910. Network Rail overhauled the bridge and it's good to go for another century.
