Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
We particularly wanted to visit Preston to see if the cherry blossom was out.....it was! A superb display, both sides of the road in to Preston from the North. Nice day so stroll along the promenade at Lytham with lots of others.... We had lunch at The Queen's Hotel on the front (the first hotel to have had fitted baths installed with plumbing) . Nice place, good sticky toffee. We'd never been to Knott End (has anyone? No, that's unfair) so approached through country lanes after Blackpool... It is situated across the Wyre estuary from Fleetwood to which it is joined by a passenger ferry (another time perhaps). And from its promenade you get a glorious view (better on a clear day) of the full range of Lakeland hills from Scafell to High Pike. At the ferry stop there is a modern 'statue' of L S Lowry who used to holiday here and paint....with his dog. Rather good.
