An eighteenth century house displays its fire insurance certificate.

With brunch goes coffee. This is luscious Brazilian.

Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.

The acoustic under the bridge was wonderful. A gentle reverb without being a full echo. Just saying some lines of poetry here was a joy in itself.

A local florist has put on a show for the weekend. I wonder how many red roses they sold!

If it doesn't say 'dishwasher safe' this is what happens. I shall have words with the chef de plonge.

In-between storms we got a little sunshine and this purple flower was soaking up some sun.

It's a game to help with making sentences. Probably popular at the Old Bailey when the jury retires.

Seen at The Gregson Community & Arts Centre.

Home for a plethora, a cornucopia of cultural activities and stuff, and Lancaster's only community-run bar.

It's like a second home for some, and welcoming to all.

A cafe that brings people together through craft and good vibes.

 

I was curious...so went in to explore. You paint a plain piece of pottery which is then glazed and fired. It looked fun. I hope to return sometime.

Worn. Extended. Modified. Enhanced. Used. Hand-built. Sweat. Skill. Improvised. Adapted.

 

Some of the things i see around me.

The new kitchen light is bright! Stark, even. But being LEDs is cheap to run.

Another example of a kissing gate, except this one has been decommissioned, after the fence had been moved to make way for the footpath.

Stepping out this morning to go to work, I almost stepped on my neighbor while he was eating breakfast. I avoided him, and for my pains I just got 'the look'!

These fellas know what they're doing 👍

The coolest summer of the rest of your life.

 

Happy World Photography Day.

I think this is Conocybe, growing from the compost in a plant pot. What was a bit of childhood fun when playing in the country (that is, eating these) is now governed by draconian laws with fines and imprisonment. Nanny statism or infringement of liberty depends on your political perspective, I guess.

 

It's steeper than it looks. A handy ginnel between Judges Lodgings and the castle. In old times a judge could hear a case, pass sentence and still be back in time for elevenses without breaking into a trot.

It’s Octoberfest!

We take over the alley

and kill marshmallows.

A pink beach hut on a bright day.

Seeing this brilliant red canoe reminds me of the poem by William Carlos Williams,

A canoe like this can carry 2 or 3 adults and all their gear for a trip. You can even hang a motor off the back It's a shame to see this out of the water on such a lovely day. I liked the reflection.

Found this Bodum pour over today for less than the price of a coffee. Happy with that. Makes a decent smooth brew, too. The cafetiere will get a rest for a while.

Drink immediately if you have a cold kitchen like mine.The Habitat cup only comes out for this season.

I misplaced my spectacles. These arrived from an online store. A generic prescription. One lens is perfect for me. Better than nothing at all.

I try to find a moment of joy every day: seeing this small Tortoiseshell butterfly basking in the sun was today's. Middle of October, 4 deg C only an hour or so previously, and here is this beautiful butterfly.

I have seen so few this year; they seem to be in sharp decline in this area. It was a joy to see this one.

Workers hand block print material in Lancashire.

 

The Harris has an amazing collection of old books that record industry in the county.

 

This is a frontispiece illustration from a contemporary book about English chintz.

I'm assuming it's out of copyright now, but happy to remove if I'm wrong.

Elmer the Patchwork Elephant was inspired by the mascot for Bordeaux Zoo.

As an introduction to diversity it's a great set of books. Read more here:

Charlie McNeilly has posted a similar bollard here:

And he has introduced me to an open source editor called Raw Therapee (works on Mac, Windows, Linux).

This is a bollard outside the town hall that I shot in RAW and developed with Raw Therapee. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Unfortunately Bella has now been missing for a week and we fear the worst.

I noticed this when I went to make a cup of tea this evening.

And yes, I have disco lights in my kitchen.

Most Thursdays I try to go somewhere out of the city. This week I took the bus to the pretty market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Thursday is also the town's weekly market day - it got its market charter in 1227 for a weekly market and regular livestock fairs. It must be popular, as they are still running.

 

The strange arrangement of seats in front is to accommodate a wheelchair, if required. The suspension can be lowered to allow wheelchair users to get on and off without too much difficulty, and unassisted, if preferred.

 

The roads are narrow, and twist and turn as country roads often do, following ancient routes that follow old land boundaries - not designed for modern traffic. It slows things down, which is the right way to live. There are a lot of sheep and beef farms as we drive along, and all the animals were lying on the grass - rain isn't far away.

The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.
