In Blackpool there is a trail of about 70 elephant models. There's an app to help find them. It's all for a charity to collect donations. A little bit of fun.
Leaving Kelvingrove for now. Even the door handles are works of art.
It was a great visit and I look forward to returning soon.
Having a rare excursion away from the fridge. You fill this with sodium bicarb and leave in the fridge to absorb any smells.
The best thing is to keep everything covered properly and not leave in storage too long, but this just looked like fun.
If your knife doesn't glide through a tomato it needs sharpening
Blunt knives can skip and that's when accidents in the kitchen often happen.
This was lunch today.
This piece is called 'Dual-Form' and was created by Barbara Hepworth in 1965. There are six others in different parts of the world. This one is at Lancaster University. I was itching to set about with some hedge trimmers to tidy up the bushes, but I seem to have arrived without any gardening equipment!
A somewhat surprising and amusing urinal.
To be sure. I don't make it a habit to take pictures in toilets but, being alone, I couldn't resist this.
I love this church. A riot of marble. It played a very important part in the story of the emancipation of Roman Catholics in England after the Roman Catholic Relief Act in 1791. This church was founded by the Jesuits, and they still run it today. It has done many good works for the people of Preston and the local area.
The church was designed by Ignatius Scoles and Samuel Joseph Nicholl in neo-classical style and completed in 1794. It is lined with a light yellow veined marble from Molignes, a golden Sienna marble, and has a skirting of Egyptian Green marble. Immediately behind the altar is a mosaic depicting Pentecost, the central figure being St Peter, which dates from c. 1960.
Puff pastry painted with milk. A good spoonful of Nutella in the middle, apple sauce, and 11 hazelnuts. Baked in the air fryer for 10 minutes. Dusted with cinnamon and cocoa powder, served with Greek yogurt.
Coralroot bittercress (Cardamine bulbifera) is a member of the cabbage family. You can see the distinctive bulbils growing up the stem. They fall onto the soil to produce new plants.
I have no idea why I like these things so much. And I wouldn't like it so much if it were re-painted. Here it stands, doing its job quietly; distributing something to somebody, somewhere.
It stands on Church Street, the alignment of the old Roman road.
Leaving the towpath I crossed a stile to follow a little used public footpath. The bridge was decidedly precarious.
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.
Porridge oats, bran, strong white flour, and some Greek yogurt. I love how the crust has colored and the rise is super. Will cut after it's cooled on the rack for a while.
Thanks for the tips. Veronica 👍
Cut an over ripe fig in half and place in a ramekin. Give a tiny drizzle of balsamic vinegar and honey. Microwave for less than a minute. Finish with Greek yogurt or crème fraiche.
Such was dessert last night.
The capstones on this canal bridge are rounded and tied with iron staples. This allowed the tow ropes to pass over the canal bridge, under tension, without dislodging the stones and fraying.
I saw this boat (ketch? schooner? Someone might tell me!) while visiting Weymouth. It was a long way away so I zoomed my phone to the max, and run the result through some bits of software to get this odd result. Purists will say it's rubbish, but it reminds me of a pleasant day in a county that I love.
An early art deco building that's now a pub. However. its history is fascinating. A place to buy sheet music and to hear live music, and changing use over time as society changed.

The image shows "The Wave," a public art installation in St John's Square, Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. The sculpture was designed by artist Lucy Glendinning and installed in 2009.

I had a single, lonely onion, and nothing planned to do with it.
What to do? Let it decay on the shelf, and do no good?
Slice it, and make a simple pickle. It's better than anything you can buy.
'Valentine' is because of Carol Ann Duffy's poem of the same name:
I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
For RCMM, who loves poetry as much as me.
If you shop at a 'social supermarket' you never know what you will come home with. So, today's tea consisted of bacon, mushrooms, scallions, black-eye beans, capers, and cheese. With spices that I already had.
How:
Chop the bacon and cook in a wok
Add some chopped scallions, and cook some more
Remove and reserve
Add the chopped mushrooms to the fat in the wok and cook
Add the rest of the scallions
Add spices (I used cayenne pepper, ras el hanout)
Salt (a wee bit - the bacon is brined already)
Cook for a few minutes
Return the bacon
Add grated cheese and combine
Stir, cook, and remove from heat
Rest for a couple minutes
Serve
When I put these ingedients into Gemini, before posting this picture, it suggested this could be "Southern-Inspired Cheesy Black-Eyed Pea & Bacon Skillet". I'll let you decide.
