Back in May, we took a trip to Grange-over-Sands, a pleasant seaside village in the southern Lake District. It was partly a business trip -Ben was photographing some railway remains at a nearby village for a possible article- followed by pleasure, a family picnic in the park before we headed back to Yorkshire.
Not a bad spot for the sarnies, the well-kept pleasure gardens.
Grange-over-Sands station, a very well-kept spot.
It was nice to finally be able to get here- this visit had been planned for early 2020, but the various lockdowns, Tier travel restrictions, and general Doom had kept us home, so it was nice to embrace the relative freedoms of lockdown-easing to get out to the place.
The flower gardens along the promenade are beautiful, and we took the opportunity to get some pics, partly for Amy to do some more of her close-up/abstracts.
Surviving semaphore signal on the promenade.
Still quite novel seeing the 'modern' (already over a year old) trains, especially in a pretty, old setting like Grange.
It must have been nice arriving here by rail for a day at the seaside, before the estuary silted up and the beach disappeared. It's still a lovely spot, and we like stopping off here when we get chance.
With that, a walk up and down the promenade, it was back home to Yorkshire after a nice day out, and a couple of photography projects nailed down.
