The River Lune became a play park for jet skis one Sunday.
If you look carefully on the right is a yellow spec - a kayaker who bravely dealt with the wash from a number of these noisy motorcycles on water.
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.
More than 6500 Trig Points, or Triangulation Points, were built across Britain between 1936 and 1962, as part of a big project to re-triangulate Britain. The last observation was made in 1962 from Thornley Gale, Cumbria.
This one is at the top of Arnside Knott. It's easy to see that it isn't used any more as trees obscuring the view had grown up around it. However, trig points are still marked on OS maps, and useful landmarks for walkers.
GPS has made these markers redundant for survey purposes.
Seen at the entrance to the local organic grocery, this electric delivery bike must surely be the way forward.
Mindfulness in cooking. The mise en place, a process invented by the chef, Escoffier. It helps ton organize and make cooking more efficient in every way. Plan, prepare, execute, reflect. It's so simple that not many people appear to do it.
ADHD is renowned for impulsive behavior. The mise en place when applied to daily life is a great tool to use.
I am not sure why this design was chosen for a church in Lancashire. Wales would make more sense.
Whatever, it's a handsome beast =]
Instead of the main road, you can use a ginnel to get to Williamson Park that retraces the route used by the quarry workers in the 19th century. Unexpectedly I saw the back of the Ashton Memorial.
The Ashton Memorial is, by chance, close to the mathematical center of Great Britain, if you exclude the Isle of Man. To paraphrase a favorite actor, "not a lot of people know that."
Sackville College is a Jacobean almshouse in East Grinstead. It was founded in 1609 with money left by Robert Sackville, 2nd Earl of Dorset. Throughout its history it has provided sheltered accommodation for the elderly.
The buildings along St Vincent Street are tall and imposing. Some are built from this iconic red sandstone, which is found across the city. The building on the left is the landmark Art Nouveau building, known as the hatrack due to its stacked cupolas.
Elevated workers' terrace on Moor Gate.
I'm mystified by all the Halloween hullabaloo. Today is Samhain. Tomorrow is All Souls.
Reflect on the dead, and revel in life. And don't take anything too seriously, baby
My Monday gig involves making tea and coffee. My customers (except one) prefer a beaker, or mug, as I would call it. This is just part of the eclectic assortment; and don't forget who has the bone china mugs, or the stoneware!
"Mugged off" is a fairly old English expression that means to treat someone like a fool (or badly). "Some melt tried to mug me off the other day, so I had to give him some schooling."
I love language!
This is Johnny's Sports Bar. It's awesome. Friendly staff and clean everything. This is in the afternoon so not busy at all.
Other than being desperate for a coffee i don't know what brought me inside. But it's reminiscent of bars in NZ and Australia. Kinda familiar territory i guess.
