Had a few walkabouts yesterday and this morning in Southport taking in some Christmas decorations and coffee this morning before driving down to Shrewsbury.

002

A good drive down about 2 hours caught the Park and Ride into town £2 return in horrible rain the bus took longer than when the road works were on at the railway station despite it been dark and wet I was too early for the street light so will have a look round in the morning before leaving for my next site.

The campsite lights used to be the best in England a few years ago but cutbacks ????

Once a fork then Fork the menace.

04

Had a walk into Southport for a look around, a few more shops closed and the Christmas decorations not as good as the last few years and NO ice ring yet in Victoria Park ?

Had a look in The Market as it has always been closed when I have been here A MARKET REALY ?

03

In the afternoon had a walk down to the sea front spotted some flying fish and as usual the tide was out but a lovely view over to Blackpool.

05

While walking down the seafront I wondered why all the people were walking down the cycle path and was thinking how silly but was almost hit by a bike on the footpath and realised why Ugh ####
