    Autumn on the Way 2

    BySouthportRed October 27, 2024October 27, 2024

    So, I had this bright idea. I thought I’ll take a series of photos of the big chestnut tree at Lytham Hall over a number of weeks to illustrate the onset of autumn and then winter. The original idea was for 1 a week. The first (Autumn on the way) was published on October 10th…

    Just Dropped In…….

    BySouthportRed October 22, 2024October 22, 2024

    Latest medical update: PSA is 1.59 and everyone is reasonably happy with that. Potassium is 3.3 which is low, but no lower than it has been for the last 6 years apart from the 2 occasions in recent weeks when I was on potassium supplements, but my GP isn’t happy and I have to see…

    Hey now baby, get into my big black car

    BySouthportRed October 14, 2024March 10, 2026

    So, I open the Guardian App this morning while drinking my cup of tea and see the above headline and I wonder “What is going on??” Who is this speaking? Is it David Cameron or Theresa May or Boris Johnson or Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak (have I missed any?)? No! It’s our Labour Prime…

    Autumn on the way

    BySouthportRed October 10, 2024October 22, 2024

    After a day of grey skies and rain yesterday, this morning the sun shone and the sky was blue. I’m keeping my eye on the chestnut tree at the side of Lytham Hall and waiting for it to show its full autumn glory, so there may be more pictures similar to these.

    The Queen of the Ribble Valley

    BySouthportRed October 5, 2024October 17, 2025

    Another beautiful day today, so we took ourselves off to Clitheroe for lunch. If you haven’t been, and I’m sure most of you have, its a lovely little town with loads of independent shops like D. Byrne and Co Fine Wines, Cowman’s Famous Sausage Shop, Maxwell’s Cafe down by the railway station and The Emporium…

    Rag Pudding Mama

    BySouthportRed October 2, 2024October 17, 2025

    A fine day today, so Heather and I went off to Darwen to do the walk around the reservoirs, and, just for once, we took a packed lunch hence avoiding the Black Bull’s culinary masterpiece. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, which is just of the A666 between Darwen and Bolton, there are…
