Lytham Hall

Autumn 3 or Winter 1?

All the leaves have gone from the horse chestnut tree at Lytham Hall. It will be interesting to see what happens next year. Was it the weather or some disease which caused the leaves to fall of in clumps?

Cold today, but Lytham Hall still looks lovely, although I wouldn’t like to pay for the heating.

It’s strange but it seems to me that when you walk along the promenade virtually nobody speaks unless you actually know them, while, in Lytham Hall grounds, practically everyone greets you, whether they know you or not. Interesting phenomenon …………….. discuss.

    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….

    We’re having a lovely time in Stainton. We had a beautiful Christmas lunch courtesy of Sarah. We walked yesterday morning onto Askham Fell to overlook Ullswater and the Helvellyn range and then dozed through the afternoon and today we’ve been out replenishing the food stocks. We’ve attempted to learn how to play poker with varying…

    Sunday night was another multi national meal culminating in an Italian guy and I going out for a pint with a young German guy who had just walked away from his father’s business because he hated it. We naturally gave him the benefit of our experience and hope he takes all the advice on board…
