They should have plates like this, with separate compartments for everything, like the coffee shop in Prenton, opposite Sainsburys, does for their Turkish breakfasts.

Not much prospect of walking around West Kirby Marine Lake this morning, well without getting very wet feet anyway, due to the very high tide🌊, so retreated to Ashton Park instead, to enjoy the autumn colours. 🍁🍂🍃

Was slippy in places. My current walking boots are not the most comfortable, so I was still in trainers, but defo boots time from now on, I think, as nearly fell over the edge whilst photographing the little waterfall! 🫣😅

Ah, was gonna have a look at the new path yesterday, but decided against it as was wearing trainers.
Had a lovely hot chocolate at the Yot though, to kill time before the hourly 175 bus saved me walking back up the hill to Heswall bus station 👍

The Dungeon path, between Heswall and Thurstaston. Nice to see the stream flowing again, after being virtually dry all summer.
