As you walk into the station cafe, you are presented with this super example of encaustic tiling. I'm amazed to find it still in place.
One of those recently arrived harlequin ladybirds on the railings. One has already moved in to keep me company for a while.
A very splendid modern Royal Enfield Continental GT motorcycle seen in traffic. The exhaust note was restrained but full-bodied. Inspired by the original cafe racers, I thought this was quite a looker.
Having used up my preserved tomatoes I need to remedy that gap.
This just takes a few minutes to make using larder ingredients.
A clean jar
3 salad tomatoes, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Pink peppercorns
1 tsp coarse grain mustard
Balsamic vinegar
Oil. In this case sunflower.
Throw it all into the jar. Shake gently to mix. Take a picture and put in fridge 😄
The season for this tree is short. soon the road will be covered in pink confetti.
Police horses take a break at the end of the bridge.
Baked beans in tomato sauce have been produced in Britain since the 1880s, and became popular after an advertising campaign in 1927.
The medical people say they're good for you, containing protein, fiber, and vitamins. They're relatively cheap and take little effort to produce a light supper - beans on toast.
I'm not sure what I asked for. This is a beef soup with noodles that resembles Sup Ekor, but this has pickled vegetables. Whatever, it was delicious and filling. Cooked to order, it was well worth the short wait.
A VW Golf GTI mk IV, finished in a fetching shade of rust. I like how they have used Audi wheels.
This is a 'rat look' which is new to me but which I rather like.
My current machine has started to leak and is not really worth fixing, so it's off to the recycler with it. A friend suggested this replacement.
This 'Bambino Plus' arrived today after a long Ebay search for the right machine at the right price. This one has come from an area with soft water so hasn't furred up inside like a London kettle: An important consideration when it comes to serviceability and longevity.
The Guardian calls this "the perfect espresso machine for beginners" although I tend to disagree. It is fairly simple to operate (although you need to read the guide book to find out how to switch it on and off - that's truly a first for me), but my Krupps machine in the 80s was way simpler. This machine scores big-style in the way it steams milk, with use of a microchip and a heat sensor. Put milk in the jug, insert the wand, place the jug on the drip tray, and push the button. Silky, smooth, and well-textured in less than a minute. My cappuccino in the picture is the evidence.
Will this become my all-time fave? No; it doesn't have the temperamental nature of my old Faema, or the obviousness of my Pavoni. But for now, it will do nicely.
In the field were the delightful lambs and their mothers. They are painted with numbers to indicate their owner, when grazing on shared or common land.
This is the former YMCA building on China Street, Lancaster.
You can see somebody else's closeup of the lettering, here:

The building was derelict for a decade and then converted into student apartments.
The actual door and the way the ground floor windows are used are, IMHO, unimaginative and sub-par. There are holes in the lintel for a light - so why not fix one? Especially when those steps are so worn.
