On NIAMOS, formerly Hulme Playhouse, originally Hulme Hippodrome. The theatre was designed to look like a factory to blend in with its surroundings. #Manchester #Music

It's been an #Oasis in 2025.

The Hospice was built in 1846 by the Reverend Thomas Remington, the vicar at Cartmel Priory.
#Walking #LakeDistrict
The late 12th century Priory.

Hampsfell and Hampsfell Hospice (a shelter to travellers), with stone stairs to a viewing platform on the roof.
Though not very high, it is a Wainwright.

On the very southern edge of the #LakeDistrict, it's a short walk from Cartmel or Grange-Over-Sands.

The joy of 2 metres.

Back Tor and Brokett Booth woods.

Bradwell Moor - a peaceful spot - unlike the Mam Tor ridge in the background.

A Trig with seating is underrated. #Walking #PeakDistrict #Landscape

This time last year.
Hadfield to Glossop - via Bleaklow Head - Bleaklow Stones - back down along Doctor's Gate.

Lovely. I can hear the gentle sound of the stream.

The building on the left is 'The Deaf Institute' iconic music venue.
('Live Forever' by #Oasis was a positive response to the negativity of Nirvana at the time).
Street signs are also interesting.

Drum and drum sticks on top of a Peavy Bass Amp. The drum skin is inscribed with the lyrics 'Maybe you're the same as me We see things they'll never see You and I are gonna Live Forever' Signed Tony McC.

'We will see things they'll never see'. Drum signed by Tony McCarroll, the drummer on Definitely Maybe.

Sally Rooney - Intermezzo Blue tinted art - a man with his backturned is framed by the gap between another man's walking legs. In the bottom rich corner is a toppled 'white queen' chess piece.

'Intermezzo' the complex emotions and interactions of two brothers (Peter 32 and Ivan 22) following their fathers death. As well as their less convential love lives (especially Peters). I found this easy to read / engaging, but at times, it was drawn out. Set in 2022 Dublin.

I loved the bonus cat.

Looking out of a large window down towards a lush green garden at the Whitworth Gallery Manchester on Sunday. It is surrounded by tall trees and has a lawned area with multiple floral bushes. On the left of the photo is a vertical mirrored panel that reflects the garden. A woman in the distance outside is walking along a path holding an orange umbrella in the rain

I found the middle section quite a hard read, but it's still worth it. The political and historical perspective was very good.

I've not seen this before - pretty impressive (and relaxing to do, apparently).

Jacob's Ladder and the Woolpacks.
Was able to take a pretty direct line through the Woolpacks as the boggy bits had dried out!
