Aka Great Willowherb.
A pretty wetlands plant that makes its home in towns, too.
Used in old medicine as an anti inflammatory and to treat skin problems. As a tisane it's useful for sore throats.
The kitchen is not the best place for flowers but I can't be doing without them.
Lancashire Day is on 27 November so I'm preparing to celebrate it early.
Orange and yellow canvas.

Walking along the canal yesterday, I noticed an otter here. But I just missed the shot; he dived and swam away. Check the ripples on the far bank.
The water must be reasonably clean and full of fish to sustain an otter.
Usnea is a form of lichen that's an indicator of clean air. It has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. I like how it looks.

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.
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 =]
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.
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.
A simple street shot at the metro waiting for the next train. There were three of us waiting and each one within equal distance. All of use were on our mobile device, except I was using it to observe my surroundings. The shadows behind the lady lined up nicely. Later adding the Lumiforms texture that matched the sync between the the three of us.
Part of the Birds of the Bay project, this totem was designed by the blacksmith Chris Brammall. The project is to raise awareness of the crucial habitat that Morecambe Bay provides for native and migrating birds.
This gate always gets a look when I walk past. I love the wrought iron work as much as the stone.
Walk through here to the hidden tasting garden where heritage strains of apple, pear, plum and other trees are nurtured. And if you come at the end of summer when the fruit is ripe you are allowed to have a free taste.
Finally at the top of Hoad Hill. The John Barrow Memorial is a close replica of the Eddystone Lighthouse, for which I have a great love,(family connexion).
In summer months, weekends, you can go inside and ascend the spiral stairs. Of course, today it's Thursday. A lucky break!
Here's a recumbent trike made by Inspired Cycle Engineering in Cornwall. It looks seriously kitted out for daily use and indeed that's what it's for. I met the owner who was of mature years. "It keeps me mobile," he said.
Here's one I walk past and seldom notice. The gate is a relatively new innovation, though this one has been there for a while.
'Ginnel' has Scandinavian roots, and remains in common use in northern England.
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.
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.
Stopped for lunch today near Hest Bank and this was the million dollar view from my table!
The sands are full of small crustaceans that feed the wide range of birds and fish that live here. The bay is a jewel.
Yesterday was tough and having become irritated for the first time in several years I came and sat in this garden for a while.
Holding on to anger is like holding a hot coal in your hand.

Looking out to the Forest of Bowland Landscape, across the River Lune. It's green because of all the rain we've had. This area and the 5 acre meadow adjacent are part of a community-driven re-wilding project.
Having washed and dried the fruit, slice off the ends so they can stand together in a crowd. It will save time during the rest of the process.
