There's an ad for these from Target, at $45.99. Utterly insane. These cost a quid from my favorite local shop. Next year I shall stain them with some strong tea, and voila, a new look.
Seen at Williamson Park, Lancaster, used in a footpath.
These bricks are a very hard engineering brick, and were also used in the foundation for Blackpool Tower, and the Empire State Building.

'Accrington' is a great name, and Accrington Stanley is one of my favorite football teams - their history has been chequered but doggedly persistent. A great quality found all over Lancashire!
Feeling glum? Make a different breakfast.
over-ripe strawbs go for almost nothing but still have great taste. Blend with some Greek yogurt and you've got a glass of happiness.
Celery entirely optional but I thought it looked nice
Breakfast, like many things, is a ritual for me. Saturday and Sunday mean toast and marmalade, coffee and a glass of a whizzed up fruit.
What's your favorite breakfast?
In the central hall of the museum is the large organ, originally built in 1901. A free public recital is given daily. The acoustic of the hall worked well for me.
It's always nice to find a new place for coffee. In a year or so the clematis should have put on enough growth to make an interesting show - watch this space, if I'm still around!
Make lemon curd.
My first attempt.

On the side of a disused bank. Probably too expensive to remove. But recently re-mortared by the look of it. This was where traders would deposit the cash takings for the day. Nowadays electronic transactions are making them less needed, I guess. But it's still a good plan to be able to get the cash off the premises. But where to now? Under the mattress?
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.
A batch of winter shots after a night in the fridge. The bits settle so it's important to shake the bottle before pouring a 50ml daily dose.
Seen on a wall in Blackpool.
Fun facts: the butterfly has been chosen as an international symbol for people with ADHD. Many people in the UK criminal justice system have been identified as being affected by ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) (whether they have been diagnosed formally or not). The waiting list for a diagnosis in England varies (according to which health trust you fall under) between 12 weeks and 10 years. One of the characteristics of ADHD is impulsive behavior.
There's an interesting art trail in Morecambe that will take a few hours to walk around. In this car park are several metal birds which brighten up some very dull tarmac.
