Lytham Windmill

A visit to Lytham today with a friend. She had bought two dresses from Seasalt & decided she did not like either. I went with her to offer support & advice.
Lots of lovely things but I was very good & never bought a thing! A rare occasion!
I was pleased with this photo as it was taken in the car through the windscreen.
I was not driving!

Lytham have a very thriving music festival in the summer which takes place here on the green.
Over seven days they play host to many top acts….last summer for instance there was Sting, Lionel Richie, Blondie, Def Leppard, George Ezra to name a few.
As you can image the town is absolutely packed…..too packed they say & the locals are getting restless saying it’s now too big.
My sister lives in Oldham, and when we visited (when all our kids were little) we always went to Blackpool...remember seeing this windmill and knowing we were nearly there.....

This looks glorious. I like Seasalt but rarely buy. Too expensive!

This a beautiful scene, love the windmill & the skyscape. Have heard of Seasalt, but I haven’t been anywhere apart from Cornwall where it was being sold. I like Joules.

What a great picture, and a terrific line up for the concert. I would love to see Lionel Richie and George Ezra.

@carole_sandford Seasalt is everywhere Carole, a lovely shop in Lytham. A really good selection just now but @casablanca is right it’s bot cheap but good quality. Everyday stuff too you get plenty of wear.

@happypat never seen it here, honestly. But, I think Lincoln is a bit rubbish for shopping these days, quite a few empty shops no big department stores anymore.

Love it, brought back memories. Whenever we went to Blackpool as children, we used to stop here for a picnic lunch before traveling into Blackpool to walk along the waterfront and go to the pleasure beach. fav

Lovely view, good to be able to change your mind about items, and sounds like quite a place in summer!!

Such a beautiful photo, Pat, and nicely composed. The music festival sounds. super, but I understand the concerns of the local people.
