3 December 2025 Southport

Once a fork then Fork the menace.

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 ?

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.

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 ####

This graffiti is still looking good after many years of been here.
