Morecambe

De-cluttering before and after

Finally the attic has been purged of a skip full of stuff. We actually had two skips but the contents of the garage filled a six tonner. There is still a hec of a lot of stuff up there but it is all inventoried and will go onto a searchable data base. Behind the false walls is lovely to behold now, ranks of plastic storage boxes as far as the eye can see. I don't like to think too much about how much I must have spent on storage boxes but it must run into hundreds of pounds. Ridiculous when you think that the actual monetary value of the contents is minimal but sentiment is a hard task master.

Barrow Pie and Mushies

I came across a photo blog today that I found interesting, Pie and Mushies. Barrow is the largest town on Morecambe Bay and although it's not far, as the crow flies, from Morecambe, it's a long drive around of about fifty miles. Every now and again there is talk of building a bridge across but even with my limited technical knowledge I would imagine the cost of a twelve mile bridge to be astronomical. Pie and Mushies has an interesting photo of a somewhat smaller bridge, the High Bridge on Michaelson road, connecting Barrow Island to the town centre.
