The theme today was definitely staying alive. We went for a walk in Lymm, Cheshire, a smart-ish area on the outskirts of Manchester with a canal and green spaces. However I was shocked at the amount of aggressive drivers behind the wheels of Chelsea Tractors. They don't take any prisoners out there which made crossing roads pretty hair raising. Two pictures along that theme, a squirrel that didn't make it and a lost inhaler, owner unknown. There seemed to be strong complimentary elements of colour in these two, so I've sampled and enhanced them.
I knew the expression 'pins' referring to legs but had to Google what the Cockney rhyming slang comes from. It looks like 'pins & pegs', but there are some great alternatives like 'bacon & eggs' and 'dolly pegs'. I think I might start trying to incorporate more Cockney into my everyday speak, I do have London roots but they are more South (Saff) London than East London, where I think it originates. Anyway this is all to illustrate a new picture that sits quite neatly with an older picture. So brogues, legs and a sea view from my two main muses. This might be turning into a set... Oh by the way the top view is Morecambe Bay and the lower image is from The Wirral looking across towards Wales. The North West of England is a beautiful place, with some stylish residents.
