Here we are in the hidden corners of Scarborough: where fishermen keep their kit and a hopeful seagull hopes a bit of fish has been left behind. Where flats in multi-occupation have young tenants with bikes rather than cars. And where a neglected chapel is too far gone to allow anyone to get past its gates.
Multi-Occupation Crescent.
A chapel with no congregation, no visitors, unloved and falling to pieces.
And that’s Scarborough for now. We enjoyed our time there. We’ll be back.
For Leanne’s Monochrome Madness.
Much easier to park those bikes than cars xx

The header shot’s my favourite. Something about the coils.

The gull probably agrees with you. Who knows what edible treasures might be looped within?

I am having a nightmare this evening trying to comment, yours is the third blog that insists I have to log in even though I am! Anyway I am reverting to the Reader which usually allows me to comment.
I love the coiled ropes! You have done Scarborough proud.

I have that too, but you only have to click on the WP logo and it logs you in automatically, so it’s not as bad as I at first feared.

Tried that and it works on some, but not all. And not yours last night. But why does it start happening?

Who knows Jude? And who knows why every day I get yet another dozen followers from gmail addresses, unknown people who allegedly recommend my blog, and stratospheric viewing figures. I looked yesterday for the first time in months. I had over 60,000 views in September. Allegedly. What’s it all about?

I have just done a cull of my subscribers on the Cornish blog. So many weird and not so wonderful names and so many who have never posted a comment on any of my posts. Bored? Me? No well actually I have work going on outside the house so can’t get into the garden and there is only so much housework one can do when living on your own.

A cull? Now that IS a good idea. I’ll have to work out how to do it …

Wpadmin dashboard I think, scroll down and there is a link to manage subscribers. I filtered on email subscription not confirmed first which got rid of a lot of the weird ones. Then a case of plodding through. Quite cathartic actually.

Love the texture in the coils of ropes. B&W really brings that out.

Yes, there were lots of ropes and string to focus on.

These are wonderful Margaret, so textural. You can almost feel the textures. Though, that last one made me a bit sad.

I know. It was once a fine building, I think.

I am going to say the bikes and the coil in the header- first are my favorites, they speak my language.
