The tomato soup all went and there were no returns.

 

Only one person told me how I should have made it, which was gratifying. In the old days he would have been wearing the soup pot but I have calmed down now.

Looking across Morecambe Bay towards Warton Crag. It's an eceptional area of natural beauty, made up from limestone crags, and is home to wildflowers and butterflies. I shall go there soon. But today was at the dentist, so I think it's time to go home for a cup of tea.

Seen today. I've never seen one so idiotic and obvious.

Red boats are a magnet for me.

A new government building goes up in Blackpool. The famous tower is still visible through the framing. Soon it will be obfuscated by bureaucracy.

An air vent on an old shop front. One of those simple period details that has survived remodeling over time.

The next train from platform 5 will take me to the dentist.

The rails on the other side have been taken up. No clue why. The buildings used to be a railways training center.

 

Veggie soup ready to go.

A cruise boat crosses the 18th century Lune Aqueduct.

When you fancy a trip that includes fish and chips and tea, and a nice sit down, then this is a very good option.

 

I'll keep walking and enjoy the solitude and fresh air.

I hope you all have a happy and safe time in the days and years to come. Namaste 🙏

A kind observation about color cast ... I don't see blues very well. My new kitchen light plays havoc with my pictures. it seems!

 

Do. here's another go at showing my latest garlic press. What do you reckon?

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:

The Secret Suites and Apart Hotel are conversions of former industrial buildings. Each suite is unique and finished to a high standard. It must be one of the quietest spots in town.

Some people make models to pass the time. I'm trying to restore my friend's kitchen knives. They are blunter than bricks 😅

nothing is permanent.

I'd like this better if the tag were legible.

At high tide Morecambe Bay holds over 3 1/2 billion cubic meters of water. The tidal range is about 10 1/2 meters meaning there's an awful lot of water sloshing about, creating tidal channels. King tides and winter storms add to the watery chaos. The sea defences are practical as much as ornamental.

Vespers is possibly my favorite of the hours.

 

When there's a moment during the holiday season, spare a thought and maybe a prayer for the women who will bring new life into war-torn and famine-struck areas of the world.

Mold appeared around this offshoot. A sprinkling of sodium bicarbonate will change the soil pH and suppress the mold safely.

A fine building that will soon become student flats.

Bibby was a Liverpool entrepreneur whose firm included a shipping business. The company has diversified and is still running.

They used to fly a plain red company flag on their ships but added the family emblem after a ship was impounded at Hamburg in 1928...it was thought the ship was a hostile communist come to do nefarious things!

I have no idea what these are so they're not going into the pot. Seen on my walk to the river.

One of four flower-shaped pissoirs. A mundane task is transformed into a moment of fun.

Despite the blistering afternoon sun, or perhaps because of it, the Howarthia plant has flowered. Little moments of joy, each one.

Gala apples, a lime, ginger root, peanuts, dates, mint, water. Blitz for 30 seconds. Drink now and chill the rest.

Two each of eggs, bacon, and sauces.

That's about 1/3 of my protein requirement.

Not charred, just very well done!

This is my first cauliflower cheese. I cooked it in an air fryer.

It was fun making the cheese sauce - I used Red Leicester and some old Cheddar, some scallions, Ras El Hanout spices, and English mustard powder. And it's still quite satisfying making a roux that doesn't split.

 

This is half a medium cauliflower, and I reckon it would be enough for three people, with some salad on the side.

I've topped it with Japanese seaweed, for that umami taste.

Sometimes only a sausage sammy will do.

Red cabbage and red onion chutney on the side.

Oarsum 😅

Breakfast brew. Happy Monday, everyone.

The full, 'Wolf' moon is tomorrow, but this woke me up this morning. I seldom close the curtains but I might tonight 🐺🌕

The night before the dawn of the longest day. The silence is almost palpable.

Ulverston Station

For the first time this year I felt the warmth of the sun. I was suddenly aware of the mind boggling heat at the face of the sun and how it dissipates until it arrives here at a bearable temperature.
