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.
First blogpost of the holiday from the 10:09 to Euston. Train packed and had no seats booked, so we’re sitting separately, but on our way. Felt quite unsettled at the beginning of the week, but yesterday and today I’ve been cool, calm and collected. Walked our of the flat at 9:45 as planned. The only…
Thursday morning looked a bit iffy on the north coast so we headed south to Auray, where we made an interesting discovery. We have some photos of our boys on holiday which we have always thought were in Dinan, but it became obvious that they were actually taken in Auray. It’s a lovely town and…
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!

About the only problem with moving to Lytham is my inability to find a group of blokes to “hang out” with. This is probably my fault. I think that I’m getting too mature to have to make an effort to meet up with people, and it’s much easier to stay in touch with people I’ve…
High Spots: Just watching The 1975’s set from Friday night. Pretty good really. I was quite looking forward to Rod Stewart this afternoon, but after the Farage comments, might give it a miss. I’m sure that Kneecap are chuffed to bits with the extra publicity received from our PM and the BBC. Didn’t watch the…
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….
Appreciate the add into interesting stuff section 💪. Also great to hear Heather is up out and about too. Just in time for the nice weather.
