This used to be a shop, but is now a beauty parlor.
The co-operative movement started in Rochdale, and you can read more about it here:

It's an interesting and important story that is still relevant.
There's a strange trend here for breaking shop windows. some owners are unable to insure their glass again. something else to drive people out of business with no benefit for anyone. I don't get it.
The students are on summer vacation so many eateries are quiet. Just visible through the open door is the immaculate kitchen.
My friend Bruce reminded me that a scrape of Vegemite on toast under a layer of smashed avocado is the way to go. He was right, of course.
I introduced this to a lady yesterday who had no clue what to do with an avocado. Never had one. Whatever!
So, in my Pam's ('Proudly Made in New Zealand) soap box goes a medium smashed avocado with some garlic and mendi mix, and left overnight to chill and infuse.
Next morning spread Vegemite (Proudly Made in Australia) on toast (humbly made with bread by me) and topped with some of the avo.
Result? Oarsumness 😅👍
Cloudy day and soft light, picked a dandelion on my walk. The macro sensor on the 15 Ultra is a lot of fun.
I liked the badge. It sits atop a 4 litre V8 biturbo engine which powers one of the most ugly Mercedes I have ever seen. Too ugly to picture here.
We once had a decaying oak tree in our garden, where stag beetles used to thrive.
I saw this one in London some years ago. They look fierce, but are just trying to get through the day as best they can, just like you and me.

I've always liked the BMW badge. The colours celebrate the company's Bavarian roots and their early altitude record for a propeller aero engine in 1919 (just imagine you're a pilot in a single-engined plane, climbing into the sky!).
It's been a while since I had a BMW motorcycle but, like so many things, it was fun while it lasted.
It's a dreich auld afternoon.
Happy Yule, all my pagan friends.
It's nice to have brought some life inside. The scent from the hyacinths is glorious.
Making the base.
Allowing everything to sweat under a lid develops flavor and gives me time for an espresso and a smoke outside.
Those activities are also a perfect timer 😅
The banana 'galette' is served; this time with Greek yogurt. pistachios and some dried fruit. It could also go with something savoury, or as a side for stew, etc. The choice is yours. I guarantee all's well that ends well!
This is the last of today's Shakespeare-themed pictures which celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare.
After a while spent looking at plants I needed to sit for a bit. This little group of garden fountains burbled and babbled. creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Once upon a time not so long ago I had the privilege of helping to manage a few hives. Keeping bees is a great way to learn about your local environment and its overall health - hungry bees don't produce much honey.
MacFie's book came out in the 1930s and it has become an absolute classic and is well worth reading today.
I enjoyed the strong colours against the rough background.
As in all things, I looked at the bottom line: "Not to be fly posted" it says. I suspect the Trotskyists have been infiltrated by Anarchists.
It's Sunday, and no need to bake a cake - I've been given some nice Genoa cake that will last the week, I'm sure.
But I fancy a substantial dessert - "Apple pie, why not?"
Well, it's something new, so here it is, coming out of the air fryer.
This week's bread is a kind of granary loaf, using Dove's organic Malthouse flour. It's not bad and makes decent toast. A slice of bread with soup is just the job.
I won't upset proper chefs by calling this pesto.
2 bags of basil leaves
A chunk of Parmesan, grated
A handful of walnuts
2 big garlic cloves
Sea salt
Lemon juice
Oil
Attacked with the stick blender till I got bored (so not long).
Looks terrible but tastes epic.
But walking about in these is more bearable than shoes while the sun still shines. And yes, I wear socks with them.
"These are Crocs Classic All Terrain Clogs in the Chai/Multi colorway, featuring a unique blue and orange adjustable turbo strap."

Some would say that Norman Nicholson is the greatest Cumbrian poet since Wordsworth. I just know that I felt like a rung bell after reading his poetry.
Coffee of the week. This is another new one for me. I love how coffee is roasted in Spain. This is from Asturias. Time to grind!
On Moor Gate there is a row of former quarrymen's houses that are on an embankment above the road.. This airvent is at street level.
The dense vegetation provides shade and retains moisture - all that's required for thirsty bees and little birds. And me.
Storm Amy is currently battering the north west of England. Branches fly off trees and some roof slates have loosened and I listen to the rain dripping through the gaps.
I've never seen my barometer register such low pressure.
As predicted when I was a child, this is our new normal.
Friday's soup for a crowd consisted of anything on special offer. The oranges added sweetness to the carrots. Red lentils and chickpeas for protein and thickness. Broccoli because it's pretty 😁
