Misty Meols

I took this photo the other morning when there was a fair bit of mist around - you couldn’t see much of Meols from the bottom of Hoyle Road.

Sand Storm

The strong winds were whipping the sand up along the beach when I stopped in the car to take this (not greatest quality) photo.

Wild Weather

A rather nasty spell of weather to greet the end of January. Driving rain, strong winds and cold too! Here’s rain sheeting down on the turbines at Burbo wind farm.

The OMD Phonebox in 2008

The from-Meols band OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark) wrote a song entitled Red Frame/White Light, with the inspiration being the phonebox in Greenwood Road.

Well here it is in all it’s glory in January 2008:

Still red framed with a white light:

Meols Sea View

Here’s a view of a calm sea at Meols taken from the promenade.

Men At Work

Expect some disruption as Birkenhead Road receives some attention from tomorrow. The sign is a bit ambiguous …is it just two days work or more than a weeks worth?

New House in Gorse Road

It isn’t often that Meols sees a new house being built - but there currently is one. There’s a new build going up in Gorse Road. Not too much to see at the moment as only the footings are in.

Post Box On Wynstay Road

This is the post box on the corner of Wynstay Road and Meols Parade. As you can see the top is badly cracked - how long before the letters start getting wet?
