Two days of glorious weather and two days of incessant rain when we were in Gairloch last week. You can guess on which of the days I took this. However Mellon Udrigle is still beautiful in any weather.

Two people are using scooters and two people sit on bench in Silloth, Cumbria. The hills of Dumfries and Galloway are outlined to the rear of the calm waters of the Solway Firth. A pole stands in the water in the centre of the photo.

And now this stride into our solitude,
A swallow-fall and rise of one plain line,
A giant step for ever to include
All our dear landscape in a new design.

Bridge For The Living (1975)

The politicians should have the gumption to face the bored and fidgety and try to involve, inform and perhaps inspire.

Shadowy rocks and poles poke through the Morecambe Bay sands. Piel Castle is just discernible on the right of the horizon.

I’ve just read β€œPostal Order”. It reminds me of the early twentieth century world my grandmothers grew up in. They were heavy industry town girls who had occasional visits to the north west England seaside resorts. Both married Cumberland farmers.

"They stopped...to watch the sea-gulls riding on the top of the outgoing waves. Opposite...,the blue hills of Cumberland rose, distant and dim...Leaning on the...iron railing, they dreamed out a future...But it must be different--yes it must be different."

Malachi Whitaker, "Postal Order", 1930

A view from England on a sunny April day across the Solway Firth to Scotland.
In the foreground is a bed of flat red sandstone rock, some of it covered in seaweed. There are some patches of shingle around the rocks.
The sea behind this is slightly choppy with a line of waves breaking near the land.
In the distance is land in the shape of rolling hills, the highest is Criffel.
The sky is blue with a line of clouds just above the hills.
