Crocusses near The Clifton Memorial, Lytham St. Annes
I had a lovely walk in the spring sunshine this morning. The walking has taken a bit of a back seat recently as Heather has been recovering from her fall, but today she drove to Art Club so things are obviously improving.
One of the problems with getting older is your heroes start dying off, the latest being Gene Hackman. I’m not sure that Popeye Doyle will ever be bettered.
Mummy and Daddy took me up to The Lake District at the weekend and we climbed another mountain. This one was by the side of a big lake and there was a huge waterfall on the way up. There were stairs so you could go down to the bottom of the falls. The path up…
Got out yesterday in the Forest of Bowland. Beautiful countryside and we took a well loved walk around Stocks Reservoir from Slaidburn. Slaidburn is festooned with signs warning of the passage of the Tour of Britain bike race on Monday. I’d really love to get up there to watch but, sadly it can’t be done….

We’ve attempted to learn how to play poker with varying…

As this period included the general election, we applied for postal votes which didn’t arrive before we left on holiday, meaning we could not vote. The results in our constituency, Fylde, were close. The Conservative candidate won but with…
