The sun has been beaming down all day in Morecambe and the crowds have been out and the beaches have been full. Over the years the town has had more than it’s fair share of stick and there are some corners that would benefit from more than a little bit of TLC.

Cabin fever bites again so I’m curing it with a quick-ish trip into Manchester. I’ve no particular agenda beyond getting out of the house for a couple of hours.

My ‘studio’ was very basic, a couple of sheets hung […]
