Such a strange beast, sitting on my kitchen counter.
Some say it takes over and has a thuggish flavor profile but if it's treated with care and sensitivity, celeriac can be a true friend.
St Peter's Church at Heysham has been a place of Christian worship for over 1000 years. The oldest parts of the current building date from the 900s.
This carved stone appears to have been re-used from a previous building. I wonder what the design signifies.
The Old Pier Bookshop, Morecambe.
An amazingly wide selection of books. Don't expect your visit to be quick.
Due to budgetary constraints the traditional Town Crier has become a thing of the past in most places. However, there is still a legal requirement to tell people what is going on in certain instances.
I spotted this notice this morning and was amused by the archaic legalese in which it had been written.
"Whereas by virtue of the provisions of the above enactment ... the Council is empowered on days appointed for Carnivals or similar occasions to direct the passage and stoppage of vehicles or persons ...
Now therefore the City Council do hereby order that the roads listed in the Schedule hereto shall be closed ..."
In English, that means this road will be closed for a bit, so don't even think about parking or driving down it. Or else!
Thinking of the Artemis crew on their epic journey. I'm amazed they found their way safely through all the space junk out there.
When a jet goes into reheat, fuel is directly injected to increase thrust by up to 80%. So it is when reheating this smoked mackerel - the taste is hugely enhanced.
I've added some salad with house dressing, a pickled beetroot, and steamed broccolini.
The journey down all the steps is rewarded with this! The winding River Lune, wide and shallow here; over the water and in the distance is the Lake District National Park (Cumbria) and a few minutes' drive takes you to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Here we stand at the base of 'Ruskin's View', which was painted by JMW Turner. Little has changed since then.
There's no coarse fishing til 15 June, or I would regret not having a rod with me.
I haven't uploaded my 2021 fireworks yet, so here are some manipulations from an old 2015 shot from my Olympus EM-10. These are from a mix of Android apps including Mirror Lab and Chroma Lab. I love the bright colors and neat abstracts I get from using these apps.
I found a new Eastern European grocers shop the other day. It's fabulous. Here's a smoked mackerel that I'm reheating for tea. Being hot smoked, the fish is already cooked and good to eat; I wanted a hot meal, however.
Some lemon slices and garlic and wrapped in foil, then heated for 10 minutes in the air fryer. The skin just fell away when the foil was removed.
A reasonably tright crumb for my first 50:50 rye:wholemeal loaf. I included sesame seeds and chia seeds for a bit of interest.
On the right is the 'krunka' apparently. I drizzled it with some olive oil and salt, and ate it for tea. It was not bad.
The Wyre Rose at the slipway, preparing for passengers.
The ferry service has run from Knott End to Fleetwood since 1840. It's the longest running ferry service in England. The alternative is to drive 12 miles to the nearest crossing. This boat saves time, carbon, and provides opportunities for work and tourism.
The cinema opened in 1919, equipped with sound in 1929, Cinemascope in 1954, and closed in 1980.
Given that this is on the seafront, that's some high-quality paint to have lasted so well.
The flowers were going to be thrown away and I found this lead crystal vase for a quid. Today's first golden moment. There were several more to come.

acrylic with bristle round brush on paper. lines done in pencil and vivid marker.
The lights are still low and the church is almost empty. The time before Mass for quiet reflection.
Laetare Sunday is the midpoint during Lent when fasting is relaxed and we are reminded to rejoice. Solemn purple is replaced by pink for the day and we return to our mother churches. We remember our Mother and all mothers.
Happy Mothers' Day.
Look at your camera - has it got a red dot on it? Or maybe an older ThinkPad ... ever wonder how those red dots were made?!
This perforator will go through 30 sheets of 80GSM paper with ease. And it looks pretty, too.
Hiding behind a lamp post at the top of Market Street lurks this benchmark. One of those signs of "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it" from the 1840 benchmark survey of England.
Maybe because it is shielded from wear, the broad arrow on this one is especially clear.
