I’ve been a bit ho-hum about Sultans Of Swing in the past but the 13 minute San Antonio Live 1985 version is great fun.
Lovely volunteer-maintained garden on the hill overlooking #WestKirby #Wirral
Intriguing plan to develop buildings on Hilbre Island into an art and science visitor attraction. Opens early June. BBC News - Hilbre Island: Plan for art and science centre on nature reserve - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/arti…
Cliffwalk (and YOT) busy today. Flag iris and male orange-tip butterfly were highlights. #Thurstaston #Wirral
Walked up what I presume is Montgomery Hill via fp11. Very narrow initially with some low hanging branches (ouch!) but some lovely views thereafter. #fingerpostFriday #Wirral
Visit to #Frankby cemetery punctuated by a cat, a heron on the mere and a rather spectacular laburnum.
Nice gallery of #Wirral VE Day photos from 1945. wirralview.com/events/ph…
Pleasant afternoon walk around Royden. Rhododendrons flowering profusely but perhaps suffering a little from the unrelenting sun of late. Coffee at Benty’s then a walk around the Mere and a view of the walled garden through locked gates (open 9-3, Mon-Fri).
Glorious day for a clifftop walk to #Heswall Shore. Coffee at YOT (now open Mon-Sun) and a chance to admire the new gates down to the shore. Checked for #tadpoles (reduced in number) on the way back to Thurstaston. #Wirral
Eveningtide at the cemetery. #fensterFreitag
Dearth of ducklings spotted so far, just singletons at Ness last week and in the small pond at Frankby cemetery today. Hopefully more to come.
After the strides, coffee at the Lady Lever. Outside many ladies dressed in purple with red hats. Very striking and presumably members of the Red Hat Society. They seemed to be enjoying Port Sunlight. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_…
Burning up the back straight (I wish). Anyways, a nice place to get some strides in. #chariotsOfFire #Bebington #Wirral
Consultation on proposed #Wirral library closures wirralview.com/communiti…
Clifftop walk to Heswall Field this morning to see the tadpoles and my favourite tree.
St Bridget’s this morning on the way to/from #WestKirby Museum.
Not much of a breeze yesterday so good reflections on the Marine Lake #WestKirby
I wandered lonely as a cloud… #WestKirby #Wirral
Today’s unexpected nature lesson was watching a moorhen climb a tree with a chunk of bread (not my doing) in its beak to feed its brood in the nest which was quite high up. Yes, I should have taken photos.
Free Qigong exercises on the #WestKirby prom, Friday 8am. Nice thought. (Time updated)
Strides in the park, coffee at Carlee’s and a walk around the Marine Lake. OK, two out of three ain’t bad. 🙂
Also had a fleeting glimpse of a lizard as it crossed my path close to the top. Can’t remember the last time I saw one. Some evidence of a gorse fire which is sad. #Wirral
Heron poised among lily pads and resting Spotted Wood butterfly with damaged wing, plus wisteria in bloom in the walled garden. All from this afternoon’s visit to Royden. #Wirral
