Puffin Island (Anglesey).

A day trip to Anglesey and a view of Puffin Island and the Trwyn Du Lighthouse seen from Penmon Point. The Puffins from which the island gets its modern English name bred in considerable numbers at one time, with up to 2,000 pairs recorded. The Rat was introduced accidentally to the island, probably in the late 19th century, and reduced this population to a very few pairs. A program of poisoning these rats started in 1998 appears to have eradicated them, and the Puffin population has shown an increase since that date.

A Day at the Seaside

Believe it or not this was actually taken yesterday.The sun put in a guest appearance at Lytham, St Annes. So for the afternoon at least it was donkey rides on the beach, ice creams, sand and sunshine. Today of course it back to rain, rain everywhere !

Norfolk Big Skies and Beach Huts

Norfolk in late June must have been one of the few places in the country to have some summer sunshine. Back home in Lancashire it was rain, rain and more rain whilst in Norfolk we just had a bit of wind to contend with.

Tatton Park - Flights of Fancy

We hadn't been to Tatton Park in Cheshire for ages and what a wonderful place it is especially whilst the azaleas and rhododendrons are out. At the moment there is an exhibition of sculptures as part of Tatton Park Biennial: Flights of Fancy definitely worth a visit if you are in the Cheshire area this year
