I must go down to the sea again

 Quick stroll on my childhood route to the edge of the sea today

first crossing the Merseyrail line from West Kirby to Liverpool - peek of Leasowe Lighthouse, a beacon in the distance as ever (well since 1763 anyway!).

 brickworks now closed down

but here's some put to epic use as urban stepping stones

 Lingham Farm

and getting closer- big skies beckoning

 and finally onto the prom.  A blustery Irish Sea breeze and the high tide's just turned

 A nod over to the docks at Bootle - huge red cranes rising in the mist

and back over that amazing brutalist bridge

to Mum's for a cuppa . . .
