I was just sauntering, actually being buffered, along the seafront and came across this installation, a set of poignant statues of girls greeting the return of loved ones, or were they also waving them off? I understand that folks want to leave floral tributes here, but leaving so many dead flowers in place detracts from these lovely statues. There's a nearby plaque that gives some useful information. A nice tribute to fishermen and their families to see as you walk along Fleetwood's seafront.

Great walk up from Ramsbottom station. Dog leading the way. Wet and wild at the top. With this great dark tower looking over the moor. V impressive. Amazing views out to Manchester City centre before the weather closed in. Well worth a visit. Legend has it the tower is occasionally open and you can climb the steps to the top. Will be good to do that post covid !!

I spent ages here every day reading the jokes from the famous comedians who had played here and reading the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of names of all the famous entertainers over all the decades who are listed in alphabetical order. It is so nice to be reminded of such a huge array of talent and names that you had forgotten about. It is so nicely presented as there is no wear and tear and while you are reading the carpet you are also getting fresh sea air and sunlight and working up an appetite. Compared to a lot of the tat on offer here it is a lovely piece of nostalgia for the good old days and a fitting memorial to all the great artists and comedians and it costs nothing to visit, reminds you that some entertainers and actors had genuine talent and doesn't clog your arteries! If I visit Blackpool again this is what I look forward to the most. They've put a wind break screen across the seafront in front of the carpet which is a real shame as it blocks the sea view but maybe it is just a winter thing. People cycle over the carpet on their way to other places, it's a real working permanent memorial and something to cherish compared to all the terrible unmaintained sad decay all around you in fading Blackpool.

A blast from the past, how lovely to see Eric Morecambe doing what he did best, making us laugh and smile, his Statue tells a great story about a great man, strolling up and down the seafront at Morecambe was indeed a blast from the past, childhood memories of holidays from the past, not changed much really.

In numbers. The Titanic hit the iceburg at 11.40 on April 14 and sank at 2.20 on April 15 1912. Wallace Hartley went down playing. Possbly 'Nearer my God to thee' , possibly 'Autumn' which was a favourite. He was found having drowned still clutching his violin case. The violin was a gift from his fiancé. She got it back when they bought him home. She never married. Some 40.000 came to show their respects. The graveyard is full of magnificent monuments and a number Of Hartleys are buried there, including his Parents. It's on a lovely hillside. Very special.
