Was wondering the same, if it's coastal, that's an extremely low tide.

Maguire might be wading in the shallows...

The tide does go out a long way there.

We walk across to Hilbre Island at low tide to watch the grey seals from the ruins of the old lifeboat station there.

That's a great picture, and I wouldn't have enjoyed being under that as it passed over. 

Is it Hoylake or close by?

Found it..close!

How the fuck do you copy a link & it turns into an old link you copied!

That sounds like a really good way to spend a bit of time... nice.

I know exactly where that is now.

It is. Mrs Spion and I were just getting over Covid and needed to get out for some nature therapy, so we took a walk across. A flask of coffee and a picnic too.

Even at low tide the part of the island where the old lifeboat station ruins are still has water. With binoculars you can see the seal colony on the sandbanks as you look towards Wales, but they also come up close to where we sit. Close enough to see their whiskers and markings.    It's also a good place to see bird species as well as Liverpool Bay, the wind farms, Wales and the Merseyside coast. It's also a great place to observe the weather, due to the big skies all around. You can see what's coming for many miles.

Next summer we plan to go over and stay for a full tide when the island is completely cut off, then come back at the next low tide. It's best in summer as you need the light to get across and come back. Just not enough hours of daylight to do it in winter.

Just been to West Kirby - lovely clear views over to Wales today, Llandudno and Snowdonia both really visible.

Just been outside and there is ice on the car 🥶

One my way to Grangemouth its pissing it down in Scotland and blowing a gale, loads of fun dragging a 15ft high curtainsider

This mild weather is ridiculous. We've been staying up at Haworth in the Yorkshire Pennines this week and I took scarves, neckwarmers, jumpers and waterproof jackets etc but ended up in shorts and a light top on whilst hiking on the moors to Top Withens and still sweating like a Manc in the Kop. 😤

Yeah this weather is really odd for this time of year, noticing on my bike ride this morning and pretty the last few weeks how warm it was on the trails.

Opened bedroom curtains the other day and had about 20 midges flying around the window.

I only notice them in spring and Summer, i wouldn't be surprised to see a Wasp or Bee buzzing past the next few days.

We had a wasp on the outside of the window this afternoon.

We went to a pub in Haworth the night before last and I had a summer shirt on with no jacket and the sweat was rolling off me. 😰 It was like a summer night in the Pennines, but in November. Weird stuff.

[Nobby Reserve]

All change this weekend, with temps taking a drop. Might get chillier still from around the 25th/26th.

[Red Beret]

I've still not had my heating on, which is odd even for this flat. Temp has definitely dipped past 72 hours though.

I'm not fussed how cold it is as long as it's dry,I'm sick of mist and drizzle.

Read the Mirror website, they rob their weather from the Express, so its 100ft snow drifts and temps like Siberia

An excellent excuse to stay indoors and lay waste to the contents of the cocktail cabinet.

Its that time of the year when I can make my dinner for tomorrow and put it in my works bag and leave it in the car overnight as its as cold as the fridge.

Most people on RAWK probably regard you as a big hard scouse trucker who eats live crocodiles for dinner Rob. Let's hope its still in the bag in the morning

Paging Capon to put a bruised, snoozing Croc in the passenger seat of a truck.


Anyway, back to the weather.

Well, someone has to do it, so might as well be a professional piss artist.

Sunshine,blue skies and monsoon like downpours here this morning.

Been cold but lovely and sunny all morning so far but not got higher than 4c

Noticably cooler out there. A crisp lovely day. Last few days have been crazily mild. Nice to have some winter sunshine. Change on the cards next week..

It's dried up now,bitterly cold but still sunny.

It's roasting indoors with the sun blazing through the windows, but freezing outside. Wintry showers possible later in the coming week I hear too. 🥶

I have this little weather station thingy at home and as you see it is currently 25.8 in this room and 5.7 degrees outside in the garden.

I like that gadget. 😊

The sun has just gone down over Snowdonia and the temperature has dropped here, so I closed the window pretty quickly.

Not long before the hot water bottle comes out of hibernation now.

This is it here, it is a handy little thing.

You live close to Snowdonia?  Now that's cool.

Thanks Paul. I'll check that out.

Ah no, we don't live close to Snowdonia unfortunately. I'm in Liverpool, but have a view right over the Wirral, the Clwydian hills and onto Snowdonia. It looks lovely when there is snow on the mountains.

I'm knackered after two very early starts and just flopped when I got home, so I'm sat on the couch, I've still got my shirt, jacket and hi-vis vest on and my shorts

Ha hahaha, that's brilliant that Rob.

It's pitch black and pissing down,the sort of morning when you want to be switching on the Christmas lights to lift the gloom.

Clear skies and frost here. Hope it stays this way, the sun shines right on the living room and means we can keep the heating off.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

As I type this it's 21.3 degrees in this room and 3.0 degrees out in the front garden, no rain though which is good.  It also says that outside is 72% humidity and in this room the humidity is 41% (whatever that means)
