Instead of the wooden bridge crossing the River Wyre we now have this massive steel bridge.
It spans the river along side the narrow road bridge. Much safer as there are many large vehicles using the road & this bridge is used by lots of school children as they walk to the village school just up the road.
Three good things:
1. I have my appointment for my Covid vaccination. Next Thursday is the day, I’m really pleased.
2. We’ve had Connie today, such a good girl & we had a long walk in the rain.
3. I have succumbed & opened a really nice box of chocolates we had for Christmas....well I bought them but didn’t give them to anyone so I have given them to myself! Only one layer of Lily O’Brien’s Irish chocolates.
I agree with Judith!!
Great bridge - lovely for photos!!
Great news about the vaccine.
And great news about opening boxes of chocolates you bought but didn't give anyone! I must go and get our one out of the drawer in the dining room!!!
Never heard of those chocolates. I have a small box all neatly wrapped up and saving to give to some deserving person. If that person doesn't pop up, I'm getting into it. Think of it as pleasure and good for the mind. Well, 1/2 minute of pleasure.
Good to see this bridge - England looks after its walkers!
@sarah19 Yes very pleased when the text popped up! We seem to be marching on with vaccines in our part of Lancashire but my sister in Norfolk says it’s not so good there, her parents in law in their nineties haven’t had theirs yet. @jantan@maggiemae
I feel very greedy tonight...we can normally have chocolates in the house & never bother but I must be seriously hooked on chocolate just now!
Looks like a sturdy bridge. Hope the vaccine curbs the number of Covid cases. We won't be getting the roll out here until February and I have no idea where we will fit in the mix. Probably not high on the list as we don't have too many cases here in Australia and I guess health care workers and people in aged care homes will be first.
I love this type of bridge shot. Dad got his Covid vaccination yesterday afternoon! So glad you have your appointment. The sooner the better in my opinion - we have to get on top of this thing. The doctor in Braemar said the over 80's were really keen to get vaccinated ... they were down at the surgery, regardless of the timing of their appointment, and mostly well in advance forming a socially distanced queue. He was definitely heartened by that.
@jamibann We can’t wait here either.....we are used to vaccines so only good can come of it. So glad your dad has had his....it’s coming Spring soon & he will feel much more like getting out & about in the better weather. We are doing the 75 to 80 group round here so romping on! I am thoroughly grateful. It’s the only chance we have of beating this terrible virus.
@onewing We are coming up to have done 3 million perhaps by end of the week Babs...we need it too as this new strain is very virulent in the big cities. Hopefully in the next three weeks we will feel the affect of the lock down & vaccine programme.
You go for it, chocolates are made for eating! And Lily O'Brien's are nice :)
Nice lines in this shot.
Glad you are getting your vaccine next week. Still waiting to hear when my parents get theirs. They have had to shield non stop since last early March because of particular health issues, so they never have been liberated to leave the house and go out and about yet. I really want them vaccinated! Give them a bit of life back.
A wonderful shot of this wonderful new pedestrian bridge in use.
And your three good things are very good indeed! Hurray for the vaccination a week from today!!! Fabulous news!!!
Great bridge - lovely for photos!!

Great leading lines in this shot. Good in b&w too.
You deserve those chocolates, you know you do!

I had some Lily O'Briens for Christmas ... I had never tried them before. None left now..! :D
all the best for the vaccinations - my parents had their first dose without problems - I'll have to be patient for a bit longer
