Another Promenade Walk at Grange over Sands

This was Thursday morning very early on what turned out to be the hottest ever June day. The flower displays along the Promenade are brilliant. This Goose is a superb carving from wood.

This was high tide, but they are very low high tides at the moment

Norman with Bruce the Parsons Jack Russell Terrier. He gets on well with other female dogs but growls at the male dogs. 

In a few tides time the sea will create islands at these rocks

Long stretches of sand on Morecambe Bay

Grange over Sands railway station next to the Promenade. In Victorian times this would be a very busy station bringing loads of day trippers from the industrial areas.

This marshy area can be quite dangerous

The Promenade

Loads of beautiful shrubs bordering the Promenade

A lovely display of yellow flowers

This was a most enjoyable 2.5 mile walk but the heat was building up and it was only 8.30am when this was taken. We headed back for breakfast and later in the day I brought Gaye back for a short walk but we didn't stay long as it was unbearable due to the humidity.

 

A Morning in Cartmel and Grange over Sands

On our morning walk you can see Cartmel Priory in the distance

Norman with his Parsons Jack Russell Terrier called Bruce

Our Chalet for the coming week. It is very well furnished and very comfortable.

After breakfast we headed in to Cartmel  to explore. Norman and I went for a walk while Gaye and Doreen went to a Craft Fair.

Cartmel Priory

A lovely stream running through the centre of Cartmel

A nice bridge going over the stream

The main square in Cartmel and the Kings Arms where we will be dining tonight

Cartmel Racecourse right in the centre of the village.

After Cartmel Gaye and I headed to Grange over Sands and a walk along the lovely Promenade followed by a light lunch in a small cafe.
