A black and white photograph in landscape format. It shows the view from a canal bank towards a newly completed stretch of motorway. A lorry is passing by on the road and is reflected as a blur in the water.
Life in the Fast and Slow Lane, 2020
A contrast in ways to get about, a canal and a motorway in Widnes.

Sorry #Runcorn you're in #Cheshire
A large but slightly battered looking milestone in a manicured public park. The lettering 'TO PRESCOT V MILES', 'TO LIVERPOOL XIII MILES' and 'BOLD' is visible.
Former #milestone from the Prescot-Warrington turnpike road, now the A57. It was damaged by a bomb dropped by a #Zeppelin in April 1918, only the second raid on #Lancashire and the final effective raid on the UK. Now in Victoria Park, #Widnes. #FWW #StandingStoneSunday

A black and white photograph in landscape format. It shows an arched bridge over a wide tract of water, the River Mersey. It joins the towns of Widnes (Merseyside) with Runcorn (Cheshire). Photo edited in 2023
Widnes/Runcorn Bridge, from 2013
Visited #Widnes for family history research, where my in-laws were married. This road #bridge, the Silver Jubilee Bridge, was built in the 1960s. There's now a swanky new bridge, the Mersey Gateway Bridge. Both fantastic!

At Spike Island next to the location of the historic Stone Roses gig in 1990. Just a short cycle away from me down the Trans Pennine Trail.

The great weather staying around, so pop into Catalyst science centre in #Widnes to see if you're putting on your sun screen properly.
The Cancer Alliance-sponsored UV photo booth shows you where you have applied sun screen β and where youβve missed!

Some places make you feel instantly safe. For a few lucky ones itβs a spaniel with floppy ears, a biscuit scent, and the soul of a Jane Austen heroine. Whereβs yours?

A colour photograph in portrait format. It shows a stack of books with white covers arranged to make the shape of a snowman. A book with a black cover makes the hat, topped with three black video-cassette tape boxes! Some black paper dots make the eyes and mouth, an orange triangle for the carrot nose and a colourful scarf have been added. Great!

Sarah #Pochin. Has been an MP for a week. She thinks getting an extra pound a day will encourage people to work in social care. #Widnes #Reform #Farage #Joke
seagulls scribbled on
the seaward dawn like clawmarks
on the bare wet sand
echoing all our journeys
from sea and sky to harbour

I so hope #Widnes will patrol the borders of #Lancashire and keep these #Nazis in #Cheshire
Get used to it #Benito
