Not far from this spot was Morecambe's West End Pier. Opened in 1896 it was partially destroyed by storms in 1977 and demolished in 1978.
I look at these every time I am at the sink, washing up or filling the kettle. They are probably the loveliest flowers I have been given.

This lovely piano was built at the Bechstein English subsidiary, and not at Berlin, around 1930 (going from the serial number on the frame). Sadly, it has not been kept in concert fettle and the keyboard and action need to be overhauled by a technician.

Notwithstanding, it was a pleasure to play.

Walking to collect my mail, I spotted this under the castle lights.

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.
You might remember a similar shot with a bee foraging on this lupin. Well the visit worked and the plant is now happily going to seed. Job done 👍

Worth the poor sleep to get up and make some tea, just to see this.
Grief is love with no place to go.
