Hoylake to Gilroy footpath this morning. Sharp shower thankfully passed quickly. Across the old municipal golf course, past the fields where the scrapes will be, briefly into the nature park (pond dry) and ended up by the apple trees (a variable but in some cases decent crop in prospect).

Warm and sunny this morning in Ness Gardens. Borders still thriving and some interesting wildlife. Coffee and carbs in the cafe.

Bit of a breeze this morning in #Royden but otherwise very pleasant. Quite busy, mostly dog-walkers and the odd jogger. Couple of very young moorhen chicks on the mere.

Quite a breeze this morning in #Royden. Overnight rain of little obvious consequence. Lost football is kind of where we are. Ferns adding a splash of colour. Scrapyard fire in Talacre not the kind of view I was expecting across the Dee.

Overcast but mild this morning in #Royden. The place is a maze and decided to try a few new paths though inevitably you reach a familiar spot whichever way you go.

Brief visit to Birkenhead this morning. New street furniture does a nice job of historical context (B-P woz ‘ere etc). Then on to the Williamson which is a bit of a gem imo.

A public bench with an informational plaque about The Scout Movement is positioned in front of a Primark store and adjacent buildings.A historic brick building with classical white columns and a banner is partially framed by leafy green trees.A courtyard features a metal sculpture resembling a tree surrounded by metal chairs and tables, with greenery and a brick wall in the background.A corner of an art gallery displays four framed black-and-white sketches on white walls above decorative paneling and wooden herringbone flooring.

Slightly cooler in #Royden but still a heat haze at the top. On exposed slopes the bracken has turned a golden brown, heather has faded and fields are parched. The walled garden is an oasis for a reason.

Cloudless sky at #Royden this morning. Going to be hot later. Clockwise route for a change. Walled garden closed with explanatory posters. This is why we cannot have nice things.
