Paddling.

The tide was quite a long way out in Blackpool but this family were determined to paddle.
A big contrast to the bicycle filled streets.

A million thank yous to you all for getting my bike photo on PP yesterday, I was thrilled with all the comments.

Three Good Things:
1. A long talk with Alex our NZ granddaughter before she goes back to uni tomorrow.
2. A talk this morning to my lovely sister who lives in Norfolk before she goes back to school next week.
3. A really good deal for a subscription to a favourite magazine for £1 per copy instead of £4.

A wide sweep of tidal sea here - great for paddling on a hot summers day - least I hope it was hot! Reminds me to use that phone( which I normally avoid) to call my ageing sister who will turn 93 in a few months!

@barrowlane @jgpittenger @maggiemae
Thank you all for your comments & no maggie it wasn't particularly hot...our weather has got quite an autumn feel in Lancashire & a poor night tonight with a bit of rain & wind. Wood burner time coming!!

Secret agent Knowles spies suspicious tourists on beach. 008 agent Pat Knowles is aloft - again. The names Knowles, Pat Knowles.

[Pat Knowles]

@sabresun He he Matt...you are a card as they say........I like it!! 008 has a good ring!

[Matt Clendon]

Yes, I like 008 because it has 4 zeros in it (in a fashion)
