Getting itself ready for 'the Visit' is this lovely Jerusalem sage.
I might have a few leaves for salad when they've gone!
This is a double-dirty chai latte that my friend made for me today. It's his signature drink, and truly wondrous.
It's more than a door, really. It's wider than a standard door of today. Grander, without being ostentatious.
I love the ferns growing out from the wall.
A building in front of Euston Station has been reused as a pub. The places listed on the fridge are served by the trains leaving this station.
Here are the lemons today after about 3 weeks. Looking healthy I'm relieved to report.
I've pickled some carrots today because i can.
I used to do things because i felt i ought to. These days i just do what i want to.
Who knew pickling could be so satisfying?
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.
The remains of Arnside Tower. Built around 1340. Tower houses were designed to protect occupants from border raiders, known as reevers.
Art class left me hungry, so I made some lunch when I got home. The broccoli looked a bit tired, but it steamed nicely with some lemon juice and garlic.
A small portion of haddock and chips. Today I was offered tar tare sauce and a wedge of lemon. The youth behind the counter suggested I would enjoy some gravy, too. He was right!
A YouGov survey found that 23% of Northerners regularly pour gravy over their chips, compared to 15% of Midlanders and 9% of Southerners. Greater Manchester is considered the spiritual home of gravy on chips, with 38% of residents indulging.
Afternote: I think, for clarity, that I should say the gravy is for dipping your chips in; not the fish! Also, you dip your chips; you don't pour the gravy over them - that's why you get the gravy on a pot.
I am learning a lot about fish and chips in England. In the North, the default fish is haddock while in the South it's cod. Personally, I prefer skate, but good luck finding any - it tends to go straight to France and Portugal.
Finally, "fish supper" is a Scottish or Irish term. But if you are in a fish and chip shop and ask for one, you tend to get it!
3 o'clock came and I was in need of a coffee. By chance I found myself here, on the Lytham Road in Blackpool. The place is wonderful and quirky, the owner is very friendly and kind, and the coffee was off the scale. If you are in Blackpool and need a decent, unpretentious brew, this is the place to go.
