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!

Saint Patrick landed in Heysham and this holy well is named for him.

Random street scene.

Walking and looking. It's amazing what's just above eye level.

In the days before tarmac sealed roads and horses one's footwear became incredibly dirty. A boot scraper was a common sight outside most buildings including homes and shops.

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 =]

Chopped up and pressure cooked for 8 minutes.

Today I learned to microwave the squash for 3 minutes before peeling. The peel comes away more easily.

Indeed, today I learned how to make butternut squash soup!

It's gratifying to see how last year' s offshoots have developed.

This glass-filled grating covers somebody's cellar. It keeps the weather and people out, but allows the light to flow in.

The Rights of Light Act 1959 is a legal easement, which gives a property owner the right to enjoy the light passing over someone else's land and through their own 'defined apertures' (windows). The law goes back to the Ancient Lights Law under the rule of William IV, which was superseded by the 1832 Prescription Act.

My local used bookshop had this in the window. I'm very fond of Elmer and his stories.

The red was quite overpowering. So this is what it is.
