Dalkeith woodland

Adventure playground

Snowdrops

Tramway repairs in Blackpool

The intention was to go for a walk and see the beached cargo ship off the sands at Norbreck, and the camera had to come as well as it doesn't get as much exercise nowadays since its accident.

So when we reached the promenade the realisation dawned that I still hadn't taken any pictures of the tramtrack without any tracks or trams!

Progress has obviously been slow due to the weather which also accounted for the unexpected tourist attraction off Norbreck - the stranded ferry!

The uprights carrying the cables appeared incongruously with their concrete bases hovering above the earth.

Strange to see the little JCB parked where the trams would usually be racing past, and the black drainage pipes half submerged in mud!

Rather pointless sign at this point, mainly because nothing is running very fast at the moment!
