Leafy Lytham

My daughter Cathy took me out for the afternoon today.
It was such a treat & almost felt as normal before this dreadful pandemic turned the world upside down.
Except for the odd mask you couldn’t tell any difference to a normal day out.
The cafes & restaurants were open & doing good trade, plenty shopping & sitting out in the square, we were quite taken aback but it was good to see people spending money & doing our bit for the economy...we both helped out a bit there!

Three good things:
1. The skirt I bought from Seasalt & couldn't try on fits & even better what I thought was a very tight fit pulling on with the elastic waist, I noticed as I took it off actually has a side zip!
2. Nice to be driven.
3. I used Apple Pay twice! I’m learning!

Looks like a pleasant location.

Such a lovely scene Pat - a lovely street with its trees and dappled light . So lovely for you and Kathy to spend an afternoon out together ! Fav

[Dixie Goode]

This looks so awesome and inviting.

[Judith Johnson]

Love your story about the skirt, made me smile! Is that you there in the pink Pat?

[Bep]

What a lovely place! Good to spend some time with your daughter.

[Mave]

An attractive town

[Maggiemae]

Looks a bit like France! But better! My step daughter introduced me to Seasalt buying a beautiful wooden jersey!

Nice capture

What a pretty street.. those trees would be a welcome relief on a hot day.. Nice to be out and about with your girl..

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Yes it’s a nice brand, great everyday stuff that you wear most! I bought a navy linen skirt, longish!

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro Yes it was Julz....it’s a bit since we spent a bit of time together.

Thank you all for your comments....Lytham is only about ten miles along the coast from Blackpool but a complete different feel ....both good in their own way...fun in one & posh shops in the other!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav scene.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful scene

[Babs]

Doesn't it feel strange being able to go out again. I think it will be a while before I feel entirely comfortable with it but we did go out to the golf club last night for a meal with friends as it was David's birthday.

[Taffy]

This is a charming street scene. And I agree, being out and somewhat 'normal' feels quite abnormal!

[Lois]

Lovely street scene! It sounds like you’re enjoying the new normal! We got word that our hospital is full and emergency rooms overflowing with Covid-19 patients. Staying mostly at home away from it all!

[Issi Bannerman]

This is very pretty. Full of life and leaves and shadows. Lovely.

[Monique]

Charming scene; sounds like a perfect outing ☺️👍

[Pat Knowles]

@loweygrace So sorry to hear that Lois, it’s a scary time but stay in your little boundary & lie low! Stay safe.

[Casablanca]

Looks like a super day out. What a treat in the middle of all this. And Apple Pay? I am impressed. I have only just got brave enough to have a contactless bank card LOL!

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice to see this. We had forgotten what life we lived before lockdown. Beautiful capture. Glad you enjoyed the day out.

[Pat Knowles]

@casablanca Only used it since I got my new phone....can’t see its any more convenient than the card but if you only have your phone on you as I do when I’m walking it’s handy! Trouble with having no cash on you the bank statement looks horrendous when it arrives....lots of very small purchases!

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely photo and so nice to be out with your daughter!!
I love Seasalt!!
