The water company gets a hard time about discharges into rivers and the lakes, but the water that arrives at the tap is second to none. It makes a splendid cup of tea, with absolutely no weird chemical tastes that I have experienced in other places.
Being in a new place I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, so i found a loo in order to gather my thoughts. The porcelain was from Laufen and the flusher was from Geberit. Even the grouting in the tiles was clean - I could almost have been back in Germany. Of course, I was calm again very quickly!
The BT tower, originally the Post Office Tower was a state secret once. It was not allowed to be marked on maps.
There used to be a nice rotating restaurant near the top. I left my camera on the inner ledge at lunch and was aghast to find it missing at dessert. My nice waiter smiled and retrieved it quickly. I was clearly not the first idiot he'd dealt with!
Security concerns have closed the tower to visitors now.
When the railway viaduct was built across the River Kent in 1856-57 it ceased onward shipping to Milnethorpe. Arnside became the unloading point, which transformed the sleepy fishing village into a bustling trade hub.
Seen in town.
I used to drive one of these, but finished in green. I loved the differential locks operated inside the cab instead of wading in mud outside. If you ever see one with 42 on the plate, that's the beast 😁
I saw a soup on a restaurant menu that I thought would be fun to make and eat.
Carrot
Potato
Coriander
Lentils Chickpeas
garlic
Onions
Tahini
Stock
Cumin
Turmeric
Ginger
Roast the carrots if time allows for more sweetness
To be fair, I have no idea what this poster is about. What I can say is that I have definitely been experiencing the willies today. NO! - stop that sniggering: read the definition:

I have done some tweaking on this image using Darktable - apparently it's a bit like Lightroom, but I don't know what that is, anyway. But I need something that will process RAW images ...
And I have finally bitten the bullet and changed my ancient phone for something less antique (but still 'pre-loved'). My, how Android has evolved in nearly 8 years! I have no idea how this phone works, really. It's giving me the willies!
This is very special in this season. Springflowers in the winter. It gives the grey days some colors.
Pre-decimal pricing.
Encouraging, gentle marketing.
Too bad that internet and supermarket shopping killed off companies like this.
Some interesting titles listed here.
A Saint George's cross has been daubed onto a memorial. The first I've noticed in the City of Sanctuary. I despise the way in which this symbol has been weaponized recently. Flags have always stirred deep feelings and baser emotions.
So, into a sterile jar. That's four serves of lunchtime soup, or sauce I can mix with pasta for tea.
Not sure why but I was craving this all morning. Tenderstem broccoli tossed in oil and simmered in a spiced tomato sauce for 10 minutes. Some olives because I like them and finished with lemon juice and yogurt.
Another serving left and headed for the fridge 😄
Here's a flat white. A thin layer of foamed milk. I think this is still a bit thick, but it will do. My friend said it will do; that's high praise!
In my book, a flattie should be served in a ceramic 'tulip' cup. I don't have one, so this glass will have to do. And I am happy to accept that it was invented in Australia; Wikipedia attempts to muddy the waters ('it came from UK in the 50s' - what nonsense).
Lancaster received a royal charter to permit a market in 1193. There's been a market ever since. A place to exchange goods, money, and ideas.
I was taken to lunch today and had this delightful pale ale with my food. It's not too strong and had a really nice hoppy nose to it. It's a nice beer and well kept, too.
And behold, some coffee spoons! Someone's wedding gift from decades past? Who can tell. I don't think they've been used ever. For a paltry pound I couldn't pass them by.
I love the mauve coffee beans. An odd choice of shade, but why not!
These odd things are worn when having a brain scan (EEG).
The wall hooks made me smile.
The caps are soaked in brine to achieve good electrical contact. Sadly, the brine was quite cold.
The good news was that activity was detected. Even better was the cup of tea afterwards.
3 shots of water to 2 doses of coffee. Slightly milder than my usual breakfast brew. Accidentally made a nice change.
Enjoy your day 👍
This is the entrance to the former Shrigley & Hunt stained glass works. Now the building is used as student accommodation.
I think the monogram has been executed with great style.
Out of use since 1973, you can see where the line ends just beyond the bridge. Now the space is used for the overhead cable pylons. It's a strangely interesting space.
Railway companies own lots of land but it's often hard to use.
Hest Bank Station closed some years ago. However, there's still a railway crossing and a disused signal box. It is the closest point to the sea along the route of the London to Glasgow West Coast Main Line.
If you look really carefully, you can't see Glasgow Central Station!
The line is powered by overhead cables. The sound made in the cables by approaching trains is quite eerie.
I edited the original shot with 'Sly'. First time I have given this app a go, and it seems easy enough to use.
After my apparently annual roast chicken I craved something lighter today.
Serrano ham wrapped around cream cheese and dates (Mazafati) and fried for a few minutes, with shredded pickled red cabbage and salad.
So much flavor in everything. Frugal. as befits Boxing Day celebrations.
This drain pipe on the side of the recently-vacated bank is both cracked and blocked.
I was so enraptured by this spontaneous fountain that I got soaked while just watching it.

The day after the death of James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, I noticed this on the side of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
Image taken for the trees on a beautiful day. I added it to the Instagram #5shotChallenge by @garethpon because it was perfect for a wicked flip! Lumiforms played a great role in adding light in the right places for abstract/illusion.
The Andersonville Galleria in Chicago has a window that looks through the gangway between buildings.
I mourn the death of our beloved Pope Francis. First pope from outside Europe. First Jesuit pope.
A tenet of Jesuit teaching is care for the individual, and respect for every individual as a child of God.
May choirs of angels sing him to his rest.
When i get anxious or overwhelmed i don't shut down; I clean. So last night i ended up cleaning the inside of the lab story cistern and accidentally broke off the ball of the ballcock. This morning i filed and gorilla glued the parts together and finished it with the hot glue gun. I "captured the moment" with this shot. It's a coping strategy.
The good news is that the loo is immaculate and the flush is even better than before 😁
A bee visits some common ragwort.
This plant is potentially lethal to horse and cattle but is the natural feeding plant for the cinnabar moth, whose numbers are down considerably in the last few years. This particular plant was also full of bees doing their pollination job. Humans should not touch this plant either as it can cause rashes and other irritations.
As I stood next to it in the sunshine, there was the most amazing smell of honey coming from it.
