Do you ever have those moments when you see something somewhere and you ask yourself …is that new or has it always been there?

Well I had such a moment with this post box that’s on Bennets Lane, just past Guffitts Rake. I was kind of sure it was reasonably new but then I started to doubt myself. Fortunately, I know that it is reasonably new because in the photo below taken in June last year (when they resurfaced the road) it wasn’t there. So how long has that post box been there then?

I took this photo at around 8.30 this morning and as you can see, the Irish Sea at Meols was dead calm. I suspect that won’t be the case over the weekend though as some pretty horrible weather is on it’s way.

Does anybody know if these fishing boats are still in commercial operation? Please feel free to leave a comment below.

Happened to be walking along Forest Road the other morning when I noticed the spires on St Johns Church. I presume that’s a lightning conductor running down the brickwork? Can’t say that we get many lightning strikes in West Wirral – do we?
