Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 17. More branches than a UK clearing bank. Oh …. that’s not really difficult to achieve now, is it?

Yes, it really does (occasionally). Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 17. Manchester, UK, seen from a distance. Before the reduction in road traffic caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic, it would have been much more hazy from this distance.

Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 17. Until 1935 there were rail tracks running along this path. The rails that can be seen supporting the bank are however not the original ones – they are old tram tracks.

Today it is a footpath and a much valued local amenity.

…hope is just around the corner. Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 16.

I bow my old head to the water, with the weight of the young on my back. Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 13. The Poynton Pond does seem to be deforesting its banks as it undermines the tree roots. A number of them have just given up and fallen into the water, where they provide good refuge for the water fowl. [Picture creation: SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 9 and Affinity Photo.]
