Have to praise Teko. She was really brave with all the noise and kerfuffle on the prom at Blackpool. Even the short display of fireworks didn't bother too much after a cuddle. Good going for a small dog that can't see too well.

She got a bit of doughnut.
Little Teko. A blue and tan border terrier with a big heart.

The WORLD FAMOUS* BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS!

*Apparently
The Golden Mile. Looks pretty, all slung with lights and that. A pavement stand with pretty windmills for the kids and a sign WE SELL FAGS! For the grown-ups. Stay classy, Blackpool. Want some rock? We got rock! Three people warily peer into the grotto of minty hard boiled sticks of joy that is ROCK CITY.

The Rock-Cut Tombs at Heysham, Part of the old St Patrick's Chapel, now itself a ruin. Photos by me.

There's not much left of St Patrick's Chapel but a few walls and a pretty view. The Rock-Cut Tombs. Unique in being cut directly from living rock.

Sr Peter's Church, Heysham.
Some mushrooms in the churchyard. The hogback stone, just missed the church, but peered through the window. St Peter's Church, Heysham. Possibly 8th Century.

'HELLO! BELOW THERE!'

Because it's that time of year.
Denholm Elliot as the signalman, stands by a single track railway staring up the side of the cutting. What is it that craves his attention?

Acorn in a bottle starting to sprout!

(Inspired by @thekentacorn.bsky.social)
An acorn perched on the neck of a small bottle - there's a long root into the water, the acorn has split and a green sprout has appeared.
