Diary –

Tuesday 9th February

Day 37 of Lockdown

What a lovely start to the day…our little Westie Flick came to greet us, she was like a spring lamb, with tail wagging and a spring in her step.

Well we didn’t expect that!

So I am quite relived as I thought it was going to be a trip to the vets at 15 years old …well we won’t talk about that as Flick is back to her normal self!

🥶🥶🥶

So the morning is a cold frosty one brrrrr!

I’m out as for my walk as soon as it comes light enough and it’s freezing!

The beach is quiet this morning…even the sea is calm.

It is so very peaceful and quiet

We walk down the beach to Mary’s Shell

Taking a few photos along our way

When looking to my left when stepping on to the beach on a clear day we have views of Blackpool and Wales

Photo below is of Blackpool Pier

When looking to my right when stepping on to the beach on a clear day we have views of Barrow-in-furnace and the Lake district

Views out across the sea are the wind turbines in the Irish Sea and on a really clear evening you might be lucky enough to see The Isle of Man.

Can not see anything only sea this morning.

Up onto the prom.

Zoomed in with the camera for a photo of sparkly Blackpool Tower

No it’s not a flying saucer! It’s a covered seating area on the prom

Catching the last of the sunrise before making our way home

Cheeky Magpie

Blue Tits watching us from the bushes

That’s my early morning walk complete

I feel drained today as the tiredness from no sleep Sunday has started to kick in, so my early food shop took me longer that expected.

I don’t like going in the larger supermarkets not only are they full of people but confusing .

I find myself going up and down the isles and round in circles looking for things I have forgotten…it gets a little confusing.

I do get there in the end. I don’t give up easily!

Then at the checkout, they check out your shopping at super quick speed which flusters me as I can’t move that fast now and everything starts to pile up in a heap!

I would have chosen a slot online or click and collect but lots of items where out of stock. Yet inside the supermarket the shelves where stocked, so I don’t know how that works…do they want us to shop in store!

I would rather not where at all possible

But felt I had no option today!

Woo we have had quite a few helicopters flying over the last few days and caught this one with my camera yesterday

I was pretty pleased with this photo as I am normally not quick enough for moving subjects.

Had a FaceTime with my daughter and other family phone calls…been a busy old day

Oh and then it snowed! Yes snowed

That was it!

That’s our snow for this year!

😂🤣
