Today is my dear wife’s birthday so we decided a little treat was in order. We went for a walk along the beach to St. Annes.
It was a grey morning but with no wind as we strolled along the beach to the Beach Café for a hearty breakfast. We walked just short of 6 miles, which probably took care of about a third of breakfast but a good start to the day.
Birthday lunch will be on Sunday.

The last weekend in April and I’m on my way to David’s on the train, on my own!! Huge disappointment at Preston station when, with camera poised, I’m greeted by the Northern Belle being pulled by 2 diesel locomotives rather than a steam engine. Didn’t take a photo! Great weekend despite the weather. Saturday night…
After a beautiful 2-3 days in the Lake District walking and the discovery (by us anyway) of Downham near Clitheroe and the rather wonderful Assheton Arms, we now have only 10 weeks to go. Above you see Loughrigg Tarn with The Langdales in the background, and below my niece -in-law (?) Jenny at the Fairy…
