Blustery but just a light smattering of hail in #Royden this morning. Floral display at Benty’s provides a welcome burst of colour even if some is faux. Overnight rain sees the leaky barrier doing its job at the scrape, a mini version of the forthcoming Hoylake Carrs scheme.

Overcast but dry this morning in #Royden. Coffee and carbs at the courtyard. Got the memo about heather plucking.

Pleasant circuit of #Royden this morning. Muddy areas much improved after recent dry weather. Coffee and carbs at courtyard. Distant view of Benty’s windmill mentioned in Echo article last week. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/…

Fairly busy this morning in #Royden. Sun struggling to penetrate the cloud so a bit chilly until I got moving. Coffee and carbs at Benty’s.

Crisp shadows in bright sunlight for this morning’s saunter around #Royden. The right-hand part of that gate is presumably intended for limbo dancers. Not tempted. Coffee and carbs outside at Benty’s.
