    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…

    O Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

    BySouthportRed September 26, 2024October 3, 2024

    Not by any means my favourite Porsche, but it comes in a gift set with a 918 Spyder so a bargain buy! Winter is coming so I’m back to nerdy, trainspottery type stuff to keep me occupied. With limited display space, something will have to give way, probably one of the early attempts which were…

    Walk Like a Man

    BySouthportRed September 22, 2024October 17, 2025

    Since the Walking Weekend at the very end of August, I’ve found it really hard to get back to the level of walking I was doing before. I went up to Stocks Reservoir the weekend after the Wales trip and really struggled to do a walk that, previously, I would have expected to do easily….

    A New England (?) – Kirsty McColl

    BySouthportRed September 21, 2024March 10, 2026

    English identity is fraying says Jenrick Mr Jenrick says that our English identity is being destroyed by record immigration. This immediately raises 2 questions. Who has been in charge for the last 14years? Oh yes…… Robert’s mates in the Conservative party. What is English identity and are we asking the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish…
