The former main post office at Blackpool. It was sold to a developer who is supposed to be turning it into an hotel. It has stood like this for several years,
My fave barista is off sick so I am wandering around looking for an acceptable alternative coffee. I like how this place doesn't even try to do latte art. Tastes good. too.
Henry VIII of England got this nickname because the silver content in the coins he issued was reduced towards the end of his reign, and the copper underneath would show through, particularly on the protruding nose of his portrait on the coins.
What is really surprising is to see his image on a window in a Roman Catholic church. This is possibly the only one.
This really isn't good enough.
There are several British Standards that this footpath fails to meet.
Massive social care costs to councils means that there is little money left to maintain the streets.
This really isn't good enough!

The butterfly is one of the symbols for ADHD. Like many people with ADHD, I wonder if she is wondering what she is meant to be doing next. It is often a feeling that is so overwhelming that one ends up doing nothing at all.
Do you get migraines or support someone who does? This is worth reading. Personally, changing lifestyle reduced their frequency, but migraines still happen. It's not drama, it's genetic.
I can't remember seeing a picture of scrambled eggs recently, so here's brunch, this gray and rainy Saturday.
On my own wholemeal toast, and garnished with tomato that I've preserved in oil and a smash of garlic.
A drizzle of Worcestershire sauce and no tomato sauce needed. Bonza!
It's steeper than it looks. A handy ginnel between Judges Lodgings and the castle. In old times a judge could hear a case, pass sentence and still be back in time for elevenses without breaking into a trot.
Along from the church cum pub that's for sale we arrive at this dis used relic from 1887. I like the look of it but it needs a bit more tlc than i can muster.
World shortage of macaroni makes me substitute with spirale.
Add nutmeg for depth of flavor.
For 40. Less than 1 Euro per serve.
Comfort in a plate 😅
Here is the blitzed mix, with the resereved part added back. The peas have broken down to produce a creamy matrix.
red apple, carrot, 12 almonds, tsp cinnamon, a bit of water
full of fiber and vitamins and stuff
low calorie
breakfast of champs
This is not the prettiest thing I have shown you, but it is one of the tastiest. Slow-cooked overnight, I placed the vegetables as the bottom of the pot and the lamb at the top, and finished wit some sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Salt marsh lamb (l'agneau pré-salé) is in season from around July to November. It's special because the pasture where these sheep graze is covered by the tide twice a day; it doesn't make the meat taste salty, but the grasses and samphire on which they graze makes for a sweet, light and fragrant meat. There is noticeably less fat to this meat or remaining in the jus!
This lamb came from a farm on the Lune Estuary which is a short cycle ride from here.
Next time I will get a Lamb Henry (? I hear you say) and see if I can make a more attractive presentation!
The tide returns and the little passenger ferry makes its way across, executing a perfect ferry glide against the incoming current.
Add a load of stock and bring to boil for a few minutes, then simmer for 30 more. I used an immersion blender to break up the kale. A slack handful of salt was needed and I brightened it with a good glug of vinegar. More richness and protein from a tub of Greek yogurt to finish.
Samaritans have had a branch in Lancaster for 50 years. They provide a free, 24/7 listening service in the hope of reducing the incidence of suicide.
Outside the entrance to Lancaster Priory stands this mounting block. It would do for the smallest pony or tallest Hanoverian Warmblood.
My first ever muffins. This recipe from Mary Berry was easy and quick to prep. Not such a disaster. Oven not hot enough though: the cheese didn't lock in the batter. As Clarkson would say: "more power!"
Cheddar, olives, sundried tomato and basil.
I'm rehearsing so I can make a decent batch for my friends The Dangerous Brothers. If you are not thinking of someone when cooking, you're just making food.
St Anne's-on-the-Sea station was opened in 1873 as Cross Slack and renamed two years later. I suppose it was to avoid confusion with nutty slack; who knows? It's a pretty, clean station which appears to be maintained by a devoted band of volunteers.
Vegetable soup with gnocchi.
Comforting and nutritious. Just how mother made it.
A glass of Sicilian rosato completed it all.
The trees look bare but in fact they're full of little brown birds and long-tailed tits, darting about hither and yon.
A street in Weymouth, one summer. Sunny and colorful. Weymouth is steeped in history. The history of the town stretches back to the 12th century and includes roles in the spread of the Black Death, the settlement of the Americas and the development of Georgian architecture. It was a major departure point for the Normandy Landings during World War II.
In the summer of 1348, a ship arrived at the busy port of Weymouth. The crew was unaware that along with their goods the ship was carrying a deadly cargo: the Black Death. Within a few days, hundreds of men, women and children would be infected. Within a few months, around one-third of the population of England would be dead.
What a jolly history this seaside town has!
With my day finished I walk back to the car park for my ride home. I am confronted by the most hideous Porsche that I have ever seen. I usually like these little Stuttgart rockets, but the one I saw had a 'design malfunction.' To save you any distress, I post here only the rather fetching hood badge.
Cymbalaria muralis has many names: toadflax, wandering sailor, Oxford ivy, mother of thousands. You can use it in salads but in moderation. It is slightly numbing but too much is toxic.
The Tunisian harrisa paste cans looked such fun that I've bought one to test this weekend.
