Glowing shells on St Anne's beach
#WildWebsWednesday with #vitaminSea from #StAnnes last Friday. Nothing better than a beach walk in winter sunshine, so many pretty shells glowing in the sun. @visitfyldecoast.bsky.social
A spiny cockle in subtle shades of pink peach and purple
#MacroMonday I think this absolute stunner of a shell is Spiny cockle (Acanthocardia aculeata), found on #StAnnes beach last Friday. Divine colouring and pleasing shape too. #vitaminSea @macrohour.bsky.social

The end of the pier at St Anne's lit beautifully by the sun
Total bliss enjoying winter sun by the sea yesterday in #StAnnes. I love the way the sun lines up with the pier end this time of year, looking like a natural church. @stormhour.com @visitfyldecoast.bsky.social
Deliciously pink thin tellin shell smiling at me today
Always happy to find Thin tellin #shells at #StAnnes. These pretty pink shells are beautifully translucent, looking especially good in winter sun. I'm sure this one was smiling at me! #VitaminSea @visitfyldecoast.bsky.social #joy @visitlancashire.bsky.social
Beautiful views of St Anne's, from the end of the prom, and shells along the beach, gorgeous gorse at sundown, 2 swans a swimming and fabulous skies.
#JoinMeOnMyWalk Gift of a day in #Lancashire today, after a morning of chores I was delighted to run off to the seaside to enjoy a good #shell hunt & admire a beautiful #StAnnes #sunset. @photohour.bsky.social @visitfyldecoast.bsky.social #vitaminSea #joy

Glorious St Anne's on Sea, on the Fylde coast
#ThrowbackThursday to June 2020 & the utter joy we had in being able to travel the short journey to #StAnnes to be by the sea and breathe in the sea air. Forever one of my favourite places to be celebrated this #LancashireDay @stormhour.com @visitlancashire.bsky.social @visitfyldecoast.bsky.social
Stunning sunset in Lancashire back in 2020
#ThursdayThrowback to 7th November 2020 and a fabulous sunset at #StAnnes. The best sunsets come with a few clouds! Happy days 😊 @stormhour.com

Well we got to fly the big legs at St Anne's!
#kites #kiteflying #stanneskitefestival #Stannes #Lytham
Kites of all shapes and sizes on display on the sands at St Anne's on the Fylde coast for the annual kite festival. Some were tethered to the floor so the wind could give them movement such as the ladybirds and crabs, with the rest flying high. The pier is home to hundreds of starlings who were ever hopeful of chip scraps from the grey chippy there too!
#JoinMeOnMyWalk from yesterday with a visit to #StAnnes #kite festival. The skies may have clouded over but there was so much fun & colour on show & I was amazed at the dancing kites in the showring! The pier starlings seemed impressed too! @photohour.bsky.social @visitlancashire.bsky.social #joy
The Lifeboat Monument in St Annes, covered by snow on a winter's morning. The statute stands on the South Promenade in St Annes, Lancashire, England. It commemorates the death of 13 lifeboatmen from St Annes who were lost in the attempt to rescue the crew of the German barque Mexico that had been driven into a sandbank in a gale in December 1886. (The lifeboat from Southport also lost 14 of its 16 man crew in the disaster.) The monument depicts a lifeboatman looking out to sea and standing on a rock-like plinth
The iconic Lifeboat Monument in St Annes on a cold, bleak winter morning. The statue commemorates the death of 13 lifeboatmen from St Annes who were lost in the attempt to rescue the crew of the Mexico that hit a sandbank in Dec 1886

#JoinMeOnMyWalk Great visit to #StAnnes today after a damp start in #Preston. We headed to the coast and found bright sunshine, though a little blustery. Lots of natural beauty on display to enjoy with bags of chips from the pier & donuts! @photohour.bsky.social #vitaminN
A fabulous grayling butterfly, I've found these lovely butterflies both on sand dunes and limestone areas. Very quick,and when they land if you take your eye off them their camouflage will hide them eternally!
It's a #butterfly day! 🤩😍🎉🦋 Spurred on by @wildflowerhour.bsky.social's #ByTheSea challenge we headed to #StAnnes, and enjoyed grayling's dancing round us. Great camouflage and a very pretty open wing that I **almost** got a photo of 🤣 @savebutterflies.bsky.social #FyldeSandDunes

It's a #butterfly day! 😍🤩🎉🦋 With 2 NFY species, a gatekeeper that I couldn't get a photo of, far too busy, but this fabulous #grayling decided my trousers were toasty so I got a real up close experience. 💚 #StAnnes @savebutterflies.bsky.social #vitaminN #Lancashire
Beautiful big skies over St Anne's in 2020
#ThursdayThrowback to June 2020 when we were finally allowed to venture a little further, we headed to an empty beach at #StAnnes which really lifted our souls. That's my boys, then 14 and 16 in the distance. #StAnnes @stormhour.com

Today I popped to #StAnnes and into the fabulous #StorytellersInc.
So nice to catch up with the lovely Katie who owns it, and also what a surprise treat to receive a pay it forward surprise gift after saying I've been struggling to read fiction recently 💜
