Dry and a little warmer for this morning’s circuit of #Royden. Coffee and carbs at the courtyard. Knee still a bit wonky so detour via the pines as it’s softer and drier underfoot. The tracks are made by an intrepid guy on a mobility scooter.
A muddy forest path is surrounded by tall trees and dense foliage. A dirt path winds through a forest with bare trees in a wintry setting. A forest path winds through a woodland with bare trees and scattered leaves on the ground. A narrow dirt path winds through a forest of tall pine trees. Vehicle tracks follow the path.

Knee in recovery mode so just a #Royden walk from courtyard to Benty’s and back. Quiet with miserable weather not helping. Nice heart-shaped scone in honour of St Val but needs jam for full effect and diet doesn’t extend that far.
A wooded area with leafless trees and a ground covered in fallen leaves creates a serene, wintery scene. A winding path leads through a forest with bare trees and scattered greenery. Under the canopy at Benty's with wooden picnic benches, wood chippings on the floor, propane heaters, strings of lights and a central rustic feature. Doors to the servery on right.

Annual Glow Green walk for #Clatterbridge Cancer Hospital is tomorrow. Photos appended from last year’s #Liverpool walk. They do fantastic work and you can donate here…

People wearing green shirts walk along a decorated pathway with string lights at night. People are setting up illuminated displays on the steps of a church with green lighting at night. A group of people dressed in neon clothing and tutus jogs down a city sidewalk at night near a tall, uniquely patterned building. A neoclassical building is illuminated with green and red lights, featuring a statue of a rider on horseback in the foreground.

Looking for somewhere warm and under cover to get a (very) few steps in, went on spec to the Williamson Art Gallery. Delighted to find some excellent new exhibitions. Particularly liked the paintings by resident artist Steve des Landes.
A spacious art gallery features colorful paintings on the walls, with benches and a piano placed in the center of the wooden-floored room. A gallery room displays various paintings on the walls with a wooden bench in the center.

#WestKirby distinctly chilly in a strong easterly breeze this morning. Noted: new cafe where the bookshop was before it moved.
A seaside promenade features a pathway lined with benches and railings, adjacent to a body of water under an overcast sky. A gray, overcast sky looms over a quiet waterfront with a narrow jetty extending into the water, where several birds are perched. A sandy beach stretches out to the horizon under a cloudy sky, with a fenced walkway and rocky foreground. A garden scene features daffodils, a manicured lawn, and a black wooden structure in the background, bordered by trees and shrubs.

Knee still problematic so just a gentle meander across #Royden to Benty’s for a coffee and freshly baked scone. Nice to ring the changes and see some different views for a change. Penetrating cold but still guys in shorts. What is that about?
A picturesque scene shows a traditional, black-and-white building partially obscured by tall trees and surrounded by lush greenery. A forest path winds through tall, leafless trees with a tree stump in the foreground and a clearing visible in the distance. A muddy forest path winds through bare trees on a cloudy day. A winding dirt path leads through a forest of bare, leafless trees.

This morning’s circuit of a cold and fairly quiet #Royden. Coffee and carbs at the courtyard. I have a knee problem which is going to require some rest and recovery to fix.

Not many films have a scene with a moving railway panorama but Letter From An Unknown Woman (1948) currently on the BBC iPlayer is an exception. Starts around 39 min in.

Quick visit to a sunny New Brighton or should that be New Brollywood given the the number of movies and TV shoots going on there.
A coastal scene features a concrete barrier with colorful wooden benches overlooking a sandy beach and industrial cranes in the background. A sandy beach with a curved rock barrier extends into the calm sea under a partly cloudy sky.

Watched One Battle After Another. As expected, some strong performances but also an interesting story that held my attention to the end. 📽️🍿

Grey skies but dry for this morning’s circuit of #Royden. Carbs at the courtyard (coffee machine kaput).

Going to pause these cross-posts but will continue to post on the blog. Have fun, people.

Dry despite the forecast for this morning’s circuit of #Royden. Barnacle geese and oystercatchers at Six Acre. Benty’s closed so coffee and carbs at the courtyard.
A serene pond surrounded by trees and reeds, with geese walking on the grassy bank. A wooden gate leads to a path flanked by bushes, with a sign attached and a building and white tent visible in the background. A muddy path splits into two directions through a forest with leafless trees and patches of green foliage.

In the morning I visited FACT and saw, somewhat serendipitously, Meet Me In The Digital Twin, a Nina Davies collab that reminded me of last February’s Glow Green Walk. Then on to the Walker for the very nicely curated Turner exhibition. #Liverpool

Bit of a stomp around the back streets of central #Liverpool in the rain.
A courtyard features a brick-paved path surrounded by winter vegetation and leads to a large, round building with arched windows. A narrow cobblestone street is lined with tall, old brick buildings under a cloudy sky. A street scene features a white building with a bicycle mounted above the door, surrounded by brick buildings and wet pavement. A brick building on a rainy day stands beside a wet cobblestone street.

Very pleasant circuit around #Royden. Low sun followed by mist. Lots of birdsong. Coffee and carbs in the courtyard cafe.
Sunlight filters through the bare trees of a tranquil forest, casting long shadows on the ground. A forest path is surrounded by leafless trees and scattered fallen leaves, creating a serene and natural atmosphere. Snowdrops are blooming by a wooden fence in a misty, rural setting with scattered leaves. A misty forest path is blocked by a metal gate with a red warning sign, surrounded by bare and leaf-covered trees.

Very pleasant circuit of #Royden. Bit of a detour via Thor’s Rock and thence a quiet Benty’s for coffee and carbs. Have decided that at my age it’s unwise to shed weight too quickly. 🤔

OK, problem fixed: I'd forgotten the email alias used for this account (though that doesn't explain the password issue). Given nobody unfollowed me I might as well continue here rather than start a new account. Incidentally, blueskyviewer.org was somewhat useful in the interim.

As I can’t login to BSky on multiple platforms/browsers or use a recovery email (I’m cross-posting this), it’s possible that this account has been compromised. Regrettably I’m going to have to stop using it and would recommend you ignore anything posted here and unfollow.

Watched Protein: Everything You Need to Know on Channel 4 (UK). Interesting table of recommended intake at ~22 min which makes the point that you need a higher intake if you are, for example, active, elderly or trying to lose weight. Which raises an obvious question…
