three wonderfull things

• telescopes
• Leighton moss
• chips

thankfully yesterday had all three!
we went down to Lancaster to buy may late birthday present - a telescope (a wonderfully bright Acuter with dual focus and a removable eyepiece) then we thought why waste a perfectly good telescope, we'll give it a jolly good christening at Leighton moss.the icing on the telescope shaped cake was a glossy ibis, a smew, 3 snow geese and i have finally got a good boost to the year list (now nearly 70!)

the cherry on the telescope-shaped, smew-glossy ibis-snow goose- iced cake  were cuboid-shaped, yellow and deep fried (also known as scampi and chips eaten in the dark on Arnside main street.)

ahhh! bliss!

spot the marsh harrier!
