It’s time for Squares again. It’s a month when Becky takes up her place on the Blogging Podium to orchestrate photographic offerings from all over the blogosphere. Just two rules. The photo must be square, and this month, its theme must be Geometry.
I’m scheduling my post. As you read it, we’re probably battling extremely high winds as we drive to the south coast on the first leg of our journey to Daughter-and-her-Family-in-Spain.
We should be travelling by cross-channel ferry. But even if it sails, I don’t want to be on it, so we’re going instead by train under the Channel, courtesy of Le Shuttle. I’ve picked a shot taken on a different ferry journey, crossing the North Sea from Rotterdam to Hull. Those decks look suitably angular to me. And the day wasn’t even a little bit stormy.
For GeometricJanuary
WP again! I was careful to tick all the right boxes in order to schedule this post: something I’ve done many times before. As you may have realised, good old WP published it anyway, immediately. And I deleted it, immediately. Here it is again. Grrr. Sorry.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Wise move. I preferred doing the tunnel anyway, more reliable

It’s less fun, but better in winter, for sure.

Rotterdam/Hull was our preferred route in our continental travelling days.

Such an incredibly angular shot. No idea about posting times as too groggy! Happy New Year and may our lives keep crossing too. ( to and fro across that channel and meeting up online or in the flesh!!)

A great wish. Hope to meet one day!

Great shot, but I bet you’re glad you’re not on a similar ship today! The wind has abated a bit in Newcastle and we’ve even had sunshine this morning but I gather more rain is on the way I hope your journey is uneventful and you have a lovely time over there!

Great photo and its geometry. Given how the weather turned out, just as well on this trip you went via the tunnel. (I am catching up on your blog in reverse order so I have the benefit of hindsight!)

Ooh yes, a ferry trip would have finished me off. And now the sun is shining brightly on us, so we’re definitely better off here.
