I took a brief rest and was joined by this lovely Red Admiral. We enjoyed a comradely silence for a few minutes before moving on again.
Part of nature's sanitation department, this snail lives on decaying vegetation. They're also high on the song thrush's menu.
On an end gable in Morecambe. The bay contains many great shellfish as well as swimmers. Competition from elsewhere has seen almost all of the businesses close during my lifetime.
Cup and ring stone dating from 3000-1700 BCE.
There's an interesting gallery dedicated to Scotland's First People.
This is a big stone that would take two strong people to lift.
Crystal glasses have gone out of fashion like crystal accents have. I bought 4 of these lovely whiskey glasses for a pound.
Makes a fun filter, too 😁
I just noticed this is off center. Does anyone care?
After cooking the onions, and garlic, add the chopped fruit and veggies and let them sweat on a medium heat for 15 minutes.
Stir from time to time to prevent burning.
Revisiting memories can refresh them. Maybe recall something that you missed before.
Embellishments? They're your memories, after all!
This was my first view, looking up Radical Steps. Flaring sun ...
I used my hand as an improvised lens hood to produce the previous image. But this one has a certain charm, I think.
My kind neighbor brought me this for lunch.
It was spicy and full of surprises, a kind of surf n turf which was just what I needed today.
Good neighbors are worth more than gold.
Top tip - never reheat rice, it's not worth the risk of food poisoning. So, of course, for safety, I ate the lot 😂
This is a Bantam mail box, designed by Sir Kenneth Grange. The box was named by Post Office employees and looks a bit like the fuel tank on the old BSA Bantam motorcycle used by the GPO.
Kenneth Grange designed and made his own coffin which served as a bookshelf until he died aged 95.
124 St Vincent Street is one of many grand buildings in Glasgow that have been restored and refurbished, providing commercial premises in the thriving business district.
This building on three storeys with a good basement was an hotel for the Temperance Society. Located between the castle and Judges Lodgings. Now residential. Lancaster is renowned for embracing religious reform. An ancestor of mine established a number of Temperance centers in New Zealand where road builders were paid in rum rather than money. The world baffles me most of the time.
The canopies have been restored over the last two years. Working at night when the station was closed must have been challenging.
From Lancaster it's about the same time to London as it is to Glasgow. Handy for a day trip.

My local used bookshop had this in the window. I'm very fond of Elmer and his stories.
Originating in the Himalayas, Luculia gratissima can be found in many Commonwealth countries. This example was in New Zealand. Pretty, eh.
This one is on platform 4/5 at Lancaster Station. If it were not there I'd easily fall in, it's that big.
Painted yellow, I'm tempted to think it's an emergency water supply. You'll find these in several stations, including Chester and Birmingham.
Whatever it is, I could make collecting pictures from around the network some kind of leisure pursuit. But I've got other trivia to deal with first!
The remains of Arnside Tower. Built around 1340. Tower houses were designed to protect occupants from border raiders, known as reevers.
Sometimes this is just how I feel in the morning.
I usually don't listen to the news. I don't own a TV and never read the English press. But lately, the world's events have caught up with even me. What a sh*t show.
So, one way to address this is with music:
