Shillings and Pence

There were 20 shillings to the pound. Equivalent: there were no quarters or dimes, the next thing after the dollar would be the nickel.

Manchester

A couple blocks from the Museum of Transport, this abandoned church casts an eerie shadow over a crowded cemetery (graves from the late 1800s, mostly). Glad to see that part of the church is hopefully being restored. Beautiful building.

Forget the Lady...

...there's a new movie out. "Grocery Cart in the Water"

On the Rochdale Canal

Wanted to wait and see it in action, but it was a lazy day on the water.

"Where do you want to go today?"

Departure board inside Paddington Station.

Hyde Park

A near perfect spot for breakfast. The nice cumulus off to the northeast was a bonus.

Cirrrus

On the walk to the bus tonight, several contrails and a nice thin layer of cirrus.

Ugh, the word "cirrus" wasn't in my phone's dictionary.

(By the way, this is probably the venue where I'll be posting numerous Europe travel photos over the next month. Be warned.)
