Very much liking Richard Ashcroft’s new album, especially the more up tempo tracks like Lovin' You, Heavy News, I’m a Rebel and Lover.

#Royden v busy this morning so no coffee stop. Something or someone has had a go at some of the fungi which is a bit sad.

Unexpected emu in the pecking area.

Encountered during walk from #Thurstaston to YOT via the high tide diversion. Work underway there to make a proper path. #KC3P

An emu stands in a fenced grassy area with houses and trees in the background.A narrow dirt path with a wooden boardwalk runs through a marshy area, bordered by trees on the left.

Apparently it was UK Fungus Day on the 4th so perhaps not so surprising that these popped up overnight by the mere. #Royden

#Royden relatively quiet this morning, including the cafes. Damage from #StormAmy minimal as far as I could tell. Vegetation slowly disappearing from the mere

As the nights are drawing in I decided to rent a tropical island on OSgrid. As you do. #opensim

Got a COVID vax. Free last year but had to pay this time round due to eligibility changes. Meh.

Visit to #Royden cut short by rain earlier than expected.

Sorry to hear of Wirral-born Patricia Routledge’s demise. Will remember her as the Dowager Duchess of Denver in the BBC’s adaptation of the Dorothy L Sayers Wimsey books but what a wonderful and wide ranging career she had.

I knew the basics of how Kit Marlowe met his end but thought the BBC Radio 4 exposition The Reckoning was excellent ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ“ป

Walk on the #KC3P from #Thurstaston to Banks Road for coffee at YOT and wondering how much the path is going to cut up in the coming months. Speaking of which, intrigued by the backstory to this abandoned boat which has been sawn in half. A saw and pot of paint are visible in the cabin.

Still seeking out softer woodland trails so back to #Royden once more. Water in the stream for the first time after last night’s deluge. Pleased to see the walled garden open, then coffee at the courtyard cafe.

Can report that the corn is no longer high and the view has therefore improved.

A damp Port Sunlight this morning. Amused to see the “Please do not touch” sign on Gibson’s Pandora in the Lady Lever. Bemused by the presence of only six stars on the Blessed Damozel (poem had seven). Coffee at Hulme Hall and a quick breeze through the garden centre without buying anything.
