1. The snowy moors.
2. It’s high tide on a weekend of the higher than normal tides: the sea comes right up to the fencing – very unusual for the Southport coast. Lily gets to spend a considerably higher portion of her beach time paddling in the shallows rather than sulking on the long walk back to the car.
2b. The immediate respite from the wind when we duck into the dunes’ hollow.
2c. The man laughs at Lily’s sulking.
3. We have just enough time to sneak into the museum and art gallery. There is a Lowry & Major exhibition – I went for the former but was more intrigued by the textures of the latter – and upstairs, we enjoy the Egyptian Faience jewellery – as blue as the pieces I made last month. With a laugh, I spy a four thousand year old press mould that is virtually identical to one I made.
4. We had listened to some music on the way there but on the way back, we just chat.
