Blackpool Walk
A few photographs from Blackpool on Monday.
Starting at central pier we walked South to the dunes at Lytham, before making our way back for fish and chips at Papa's near the Tower (the best chip shop in Blackpool).

Vickie ventured into Manchester at the weekend, taking the bus for the first time ever. Here's a few pictures of the X43 Witchway Alexander Dennis Enviro400. It looks like a nightclub, no idea how you would work on the commute.

Taking wee Fearghus to the small animal hospital to collect his drugs. His diagnosis is a tough one, but now we can start to get him well.

Images from an afternoon walk around the bottom two reservoirs in the Longdendale chain - Bottoms Reservoir and Valehouse Reservoir.

Catching up with the summer. Read on for a video and photographs taken at the Green Day gig in Manchester on 21 June.

I spent almost the entirety of my first year at university listening to Dookie by Green Day, Basket Case especially. Those that had the misfortune to live with me are probably sick of hearing it to this day. So when the cool kids gave me the opportunity to tag along to the Green Day gig in Manchester on 21 June, I couldn't resist.
Basket Case:
Here are some photos that I took during the evening out with Vickie and Rhiannon, including of an amazing double rainbow over the stadium.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in timeIt's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life— by Green Day

Revisiting some basic JavaScript with Bailey. He has always slept on my legs, but in 7 years this is the first time he has ever curled up on my lap.

is very happy that Vickie agreed to marry him…. after being dragged up a hill while poorly for him to ask her!
On our Sunday up in the Lakes Vickie and I decided to walk up Cat Bells, Vickie’s first Wainwright!!!

We drove over to Keswick from St. Bees and parked in the car park at the pencil factory and had a general womble around the town in the morning. In the afternoon we caught the ferry across, having to get off at Brandlehow as the Hawse End landing stage was closed. We wandered along the shore to the bottom of the hill at Hawse End, and ambled up on to the first summit, and along to below the second. There were a few rocky bits that I wouldn’t fancy dragging my granny up, as AW suggested! I went up over the summit to make sure that it wasn’t too rocky, which it wasn’t, so we headed along the ridge dropping down from Hause Gate and back to the ferry at Brandlehow, pausing momentarily to observe the old mine workings which are mostly fenced in. We had to run for the boat both leaving and returning to Keswick, but were lucky to make both sailings. The weather was largely good, and we had an awesome day, the rain holding out till we were back on the boat!
