July 01, All aroune Ulverston

There is a 11.5 mile circuit around Ulverston, so I decided, "Why not?"  Getting to the start took some time, but I had nothing else to do and this extra allows one to see more of this not terribly attractive town.  But on MY street, some of the houses are quite colorful: 

Just FYI, the cat was not real.

They are very serious about red squirrels in the UK:

One has been warned:

Sorry, little beauties, no extra yummies for you today:

Cow in process of chewing its cud or just eating with its mouth open:

I was so relieved to know that this girl was not real, because she does not look at all well!

River, sky, and birds:

The most interesting part of the walk was a long section along mud flats.  One is instructed not to go exploring!  This one did not need to be told twice:

Worth two photos

By and by I came to a bench, so I SAT DOWN, had a snack, and worked on the spelling Bee:

Also, most of the walk was on hard surfaces, so it was really nice to have this stretch:

I wanted to get some Compede to take care of a bit of rubbing on the bottom of my left foot.  Would you believe that there is a pharmacy in Ulverston called—get this—Cohen's!  It is a big, full service pharmacy—we do not have the like in the U.S.—licensed by the National Health Service, almost like a clinic, so that is where I went.  Then I decided to look up the Jewish population of Ulverston. In 2022, it was 13 "in the Parish" says Google.
