| It has become an annual tradition of mine to go for a walk on Christmas Day morning, weather permitting. Today I took a walk to Heysham village and back. Sunny, but a real chill in the air. |
 |
| Taking advantage of the rain we have had this week. |
 |
| There were a few dog walkers out and about. Heysham village can be seen in the background. |
 |
| What are you looking at? |
 |
| Hazy sunshine and St Peter's Church in Heysham village |
 |
| These wreaths had recently been tied to the fence, although I have no idea as to what or whom they refer to. |
 |
| Main Street, Heysham village. |
 |
| Entrance to St Peter's Church and the graveyard. |
 |
| Local village feline. |
 |
| Ken and Dorothea look after this plot of land in the village, known as Sycamore Bank |
 |
| Look at the date over the door - 1633. |
 |
| I wonder what this old shop used to be? |
 |
| If only they were that cheap! |
 |
| Walking onwards to Heysham Head. |
 |
| The ruins of St. Patrick's Chapel on the Head, overlooking Morecambe Bay. |
 |
| Heysham Nuclear Power Station. |
 |
| Looking from Heysham Head towards Morecambe, This block of flats were built after the Grosvenor Hotel was demolished. The design seems out of character with the area to me. |
 |
| More dog walkers. |
 |
| Strange how I happened to pass The Royal in the village just as they opened. So it was time for a Christmas lunch time beer stop. |
 |
| A few empty casks. Not after I had been there I hasten to add. |
