Knott End Ferry

I have been to Fleetwood today to have my stitches in my mouth out, all 13 of them !!! Afterwards I walked round to the ferry terminal to take a few pictures for today's upload & the ferry was in service ferrying people from Fleetwood to Knott End on the other side of the estuary.
You can just see the ferry docked at the other side, it only takes a couple of minutes to cross & costs £1.50 for an adult . It must save a good hour by road so is used quite frequently especially at either end of the day.
My friend used to catch this ferry to go to school & during the winter when it was a bit rough was regularly sea sick .....not a good start to a mornings lessons !!

It's good to see that ferries like this are still operating. Hope your mouth is recovering!

Ooooh that sounds painful Pat! Did your friend go to Winckley? That's quite a commute. What a nightmare knowing you've got that ahead.

@judithg No she went to Fleetwood Grammer ! Off to the pictures now to see Jane Eyre !
@jmj Thank you both but i am much better now the stitches are out . I feel like a new woman !!!

Beautiful shot, Pat. The water and the red "thing" just pop out against that beautiful sky. NICE. Hope that your mouth (teeth?) are alright.

I like the red buoy in the bottom right hand corner Pat ( I think my Cleveleys essay is appropriate to this image too) !!!

I must have missed the background story to the mouth stitches...oral surgery? Ouch! Hope you are feeling much better, Pat! Love this ferry photo. I would much rather take the ferry, rough seas or calm, to save an hour of drive time. The sky is absolutely beautiful in this shot, too.

13 stitches in your mouth!!! Horrendous! Hope you are feeling better ...feel sorry for your friend, seasickness is awful and it would have been an horrible way to the day....Great shot, though, I like the clouds.
