Nina's Blog - Wednesday 30th July 2025

I've been driving everywhere in the last few days and neglecting to walk. So today I decided that I really should see a bit more of Leigh. I've taken a very circuitous route from the Greyhound to the Tea Junction where I'm having a small breakfast with a mug of tea.


Vert good value at 4 GBP.

I've just started listening to a BBC Crowd Science episode called How did the moon affect the dinosaurs?" And a newspaper style cartoon came to mind that 'exp;lained' why at least the tall ones went extinct. But I can't find it. The basic premise was that the moon is moving further way from the earth at a fairly steady rate and if you calculate the altitude of the moon back when there were dinosaurs it was only at head height so all the tall dinosaurs got their heads knocked off.

Yes I know it's internally inconsistent as well as totally ridiculous but it made me smile and I'd like to find a copy.

After the park there's a bit more countryside and a few streets and then Pennington Flash

Only in the UK do I see signs like this

Lots of geese

Another sign telling you what you aren't allowed to do

A paddling pool for ducks

Not far after the road bridge with the graffiti I turn into street with a few houses and a flooring company. The flooring is advertised by a Porsche with an unusual colour scheme

@ninalanyon Its definitely an Audi.

@Barefooter25 I think it was because I saw first from behind and it is vaguely similar to some Porsches from that angle. I'm not really a car person.

@ninalanyon Don't worry. To be perfectly honest, most cars these days all look the same.

In the Canal Turn pub on my way back to the Greyhound. Having a pint and a packet of 'onion rings'.

Today's outfit is the new denim skirt, blue sleeveless top, and the bargain jacket.
