Miles and miles of wonderful views.

I've not been blogging for quite a while but intend to come back with loads of new stuff to share.

I've just watched the film Lawrence of Arabia (1962) for the first time.

It's taken me a week to watch it on Youtube.

Half an hour an evening for seven days... I really enjoyed it.
I only recently found out he once worked in Northwich for a few weeks.
My home Town.

T.E.Lawrence............ Lawrence of Arabia worked in my home town Northwich

I have just discovered T.E Lawrence once worked in my home town of Northwich

One of the most enigmatic figures of the 20th century he was Lawrence of Arabia.

A man whose life and death was shrouded in mystery.

His real name was Thomas Edward Lawrence a British soldier who found everlasting fame through organising an Arab revolt against the Turks during the First World War.

Lawrence turned up in Northwich... a visit that that created quite a stir even though it was supposed to be a well guarded secret. He arrived under the name of Aircraftman T.E Shaw one of three representatives of the Air Ministry who were there to supervise trials of the Royal Air Force Auxiliary "Aquarius" built at Yarwoods dockyard in Navigation Road. 

He stayed for three weeks in the Crown and Anchor Hotel in the High Street.

He was a slightly built man in civilian clothes in height about 5ft- 6ins tall and I believe he weighed just over seven stones.
The local press did get hold of the story but not until he had left town.

I have visited his home in Dorset... Clouds Hill and his final resting place at Morten.

Calm before the storm.................. the rutting season is just around the corner

Tatton Park Cheshire... the build up to this years rutting season has started.

Looking forward to watching the Red Deer Rut next month................................

It's a wonderful time of year.

Red Deer Stag... Tatton Park Cheshire.

Common Seals.............................. seen on my boat trip from Kylesku Scotland

I've had a wonderful stay at the Kylesku Hotel.

They do boat trips from the old ferry jetty... replaced by the bridge in 1984.

The seals were on a small island close to the jetty.

 Common Seals

The next two images aren't mine but show how wonderful the bridge looks... 

...one of the most scenic in the world.

 Opened by the Queen in 1984.

 The skipper took us under the bridge on our trip.

My car with the bridge behind... 1,500 miles in a week on my road trip... she never missed a beat.
