A rose for Our Lady.

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.

At uni yesterday was a market with a variety of stalls. I realized it's at least 2 years since I had a burger (Burger King; simply dreadful) and the menu here looked attractive.

Having gone for wild boar, I was not disappointed. No need for any sauce or mustard, it was juicy and full of flavor. Being wild game, it was lean and tender. I'm glad I passed on the cheese that was offered.

It was a fantastic day - sunshine and happiness.

Do listen to Haircut 100's song!

Red boats are a magnet for me.

A woodland creature enjoying the sunshine.

Water drained off. Nothing wrong here. A large scoop for my breakfast muffins. Refill and refrigerate.

Moist. Not sure what it tastes of but it's not bad .

Outside the entrance to Lancaster Priory stands this mounting block. It would do for the smallest pony or tallest Hanoverian Warmblood.

What to do with too many limes?

No more drinks till after Easter.

So make soup 😁

red pepper, kumara, chili, bacon, carrot, celery, beetroots,red onion, garlic, Cajun spice mix (MRE mix), veg stock, limes!

it made a spicy breakfast 👍

Saturday morning. Breakfast. Take some time and have fun. Rock melon that's so ripe and sweet, dusted with a little ground ginger. Mendelssohn's 'Calm seas and a prosperous voyage' playing on the radio.

our first snow for nearly 2 years

Side elevation of the Custom House at Lancaster.

Duties and taxes were a major source of income in the town.

I was once told off for 'spreading marmalade like a subaltern.' Never worked it out!

My bread.

The second gift of the morning. The wagons are full of ballast for railway lines.

he's going grey!

The trees are full of birds singing their hearts out. Joy.

Dusk approaches the canal. I'm off to dinner.

It's raining and cold. So stay home and make jam. This is what 800g of apples gave me.

Use on toast or bake in a strudel or similar. Should keep unopened for 3 months.

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?

The former cooperative society building in Lancaster. An interesting mixture of classical and arts and crafts elements.

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.

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.

I found this tall cut-glass vase in an opp shop yesterday for a pound. It was a bit manky so I partially filled with hot water and added bicarb of soda and white vinegar. A bit of fixing and soaking lifted all the residue and left the glass sparkling again.

The roses can continue to dry in peace.
