Walk Around Lostock

A few photos of our walk this morning. Hazel picked a few blackerries for her sister who wasn't that keen it turns out. Took a digital clock round for her Mom who's sight is failing and needs a larger dial to see what the time is. This also shows the day and the month which is handy.

New Years Day 2024.

This mornings New Years Day walk in Lostock - from the station to the by-pass and round the village to Granma and Audrey's to wish them a HNY and empty their bins. O yes, we popped into the Coop on the way to get salad stuff and other bits we were lacking.Happy New Year to all my reader!

Gardening In Lostock

A day of gardening and birthday cake over at Granma and Audrey's. A bit cooler thankfully. Archie is home for a couple of days. He enjoys a bit of gardening - lopping the very tall shrubs that have taken over at the side of the house.

Walk to By Pass

This mornings walk over Lostock way after dropping in on Granma and Audrey to see how they were coping. Spotted the tracks of the infamous Lostock Yeti and a strange plastic dooddad Hazel hung in some twigs. A bit nippy out - brrrrrrr!

January 2023

Solitary walk around Lostock this morning whilst Hazel gave her ailing Mom and sister some breakfast, pills, etc. They are on the mend but it takes time.

Birthday Walk

 Nice pile of cards and even letters to open this morning.  Afterwards we went to the Co-op for the usual Sunday "Chicken Run" but without the chicken!   I walked round the park.  Later we trotted over to Lostock to see Granma and Audrey and exchange cake - sat outside in the chilly June wind and had a brief chat before walking to the bypass and back again to stretch our legs.  Brrrr! Feels more like October!  I forgot to mention it was also Father's Day so got a clever playing card "upside down" two for the price of one card that's a birthday card one way and a father's day card the other way up! 

Lostock Walk

 Actually two walks - one on Saturday over at Anderton where the photo of me was take with a wooden reindeer we found in the woods.  Yesterdays walk was over in Lostock after we dropped off Hazel's Mom's chicken and other groceries as we do every Sunday morning.  A quicj walk to the brine pumps and the hissy pipes .  This is what passes for entertainment in these days of lockdown!

Mothering Sunday

 Mothers Day and a walk to the Co-op for the "chicken run" to get a chicken for Hazel's Mom and sister plus a few other bits.  I walked round the park until Hazel emerged laden down with four bags of stuff to carry home.  Later we went over to Lostock to show G&A the lithophane that Archie made on his 3-D printer for Hazel - an old snap of us from the 90's. Had a quick chat and afterwards a walk to the by-pass passed a few daffs emerging.  Brrrrr! It was pretty windy and cold!   Good to get home in the warm.  Archie zoomed later for a chat. 

Lostock Walk

 This mornings walk to Lostock and environs. Nice to see a few daffs emerging. Not a very good sheep photo. Dropped off some Co-op bought food stuffs etc. to Hazel's Mom and sister.

Walk To Lostock

 This mornings frosty walk to Lostock via Hazel's Mom and sister's place to drop off groceries as they are still isolating - not been out for nearly 10 months now!  Hopefully they can get a vaccine jab at some point but doesn't seem likely at the moment.   These steam valve thingies are very sculptural and hiss when you get near them like petulant snakes!

A Walk In Cheshire

Pleasant walk through the leafy lanes of Cheshire this morning whilst delivering essentials ( biscuits and whole chicken ) to Hazel's Mom and her sister in Lostock. Discovered the small holding we often drive past - with snoring pigs, black sheep and geese. Narrow footpaths so awkward when walkers coming in other direction. Mostly it was very quiet so not really a problem - we just crossed over hoping no tractors would suddenly appear! Hada nice chat to Doreen and Audrey. I sat on the fold up chair whilst Hazel picked dandelions and admired the pansies. Also a nearby creeper thing had come loose and was trailing around looking to trip unsuspecting travellers up! Hazel tied it up with some string which will probably last until the next gale blows!
