It’s got very busy up here tonight on the Staffs\Cheshire border. Fortunately I didn’t have to fight with people who cannot drive or park or be pleasant to others. I live here, so I avoided them and instead walked with the dog to a quiet spot and sat to watch the #eclipse over the #Cheshire plain.
I remember the total eclipse in 1999 when it fell dark and silent, so was honestly a little underwhelmed by this one.

🏚️ A pair of abandoned tin roof cottages near Nantwich, Cheshire. I visited and photographed these a few years ago. Inside they felt so lonely and had a sorrowful atmosphere. Driving passed again recently; I was sad to see they have been demolished.

From #Fairways to #FairUse: Repurposing #GolfCourses
How golf courses can be repurposed to meet the needs of people and planet
Autumn 2024
by Grace Crabtree & Dan Woolley"Back in April 2020, shortly after the UK had gone into lockdown for the first time, Guy Shrubsole, the campaigner and author of Who Owns England (2019), set out to map and investigate London’s golf courses. While a natural continuation of his wider work on land ownership, it was also given particular urgency in the moment – not least for those living in densely populated cities – as the nation began to ask questions about use of, and access to, #GreenSpace.
"The results of this research produced some surprising findings. For example, although a considerable number of golf courses in Greater London are held in private ownership, the figure is less than half, at 45%. This turns out to be only slightly larger than the number owned by councils (42%). After several decades in which councils, schools, and other public institutions have been forced to sell off green space – including school playing fields and county farms – it seems pertinent to ask why so many golf courses have remained untouched.
"Happily, there are signs of progress. In #Cheshire, the #WoodlandTrust recently purchased a former golf course, and have been busy planting trees. The vision is for the site to 'develop as native broadleaf woodland' and to link with other woodland sites as part of the larger #NorthernForest, providing green space and fighting #ClimateChange.
"And further east, on the #Lincolnshire coast, the #NationalTrust is busy converting a disused golf course – #Sandilands – to 'create new habitats for a variety of #wildlife, especially migrating birds like black-tailed #godwit, spotted #redshank and #spoonbills, along with breeding birds such as #snipe, #lapwings and #oystercatchers' This environmental mission is coupled with the social objective of providing 'a space where everyone can enjoy the benefits of being in nature.'
"More controversially, perhaps, the London-based architecture firm #RCKa has developed a proposal to build housing on an existing golf course in #Enfield, at the northern end of the city. Understandably, not everyone agrees with this vision, arguing that green space, once built upon, is lost forever. However, faced with an acute and growing housing crisis, it may be useful to ask whether some compromise solutions might begin to develop at the edges. [Yes, like housing with LOTS of Green Space, including #CommunityGardens , #FoodForests , and #WildlifeCorridors ! Problem solved!]
"What the above examples demonstrate is a growing interest in the potential for repurposing golf courses, for reasons ranging from climate change mitigation and biodiversity benefits, to providing space for housing and food growing.
"Which brings us to #Glasgow, where the #GlasgowCommunityFoodNetwork (#GCFN) are leading on a proposal to transform a disused golf course into a food growing space, with much of the land restored as a richly biodiverse space where wildlife can thrive."

This looks amusing at first sight: fortunately no-one was hurt and the people whose boats have been affected will probably be ok.
More seriously the canal will be closed which will have a big impact on many small businesses in the area.
But there’s potentially a big problem - the Llangollen canal supplies

Last full day in North #Wales tomorrow then home. On the way here we had a lovely afternoon in #Conwy so I'm looking for recommendations about where to stop off on the way back. So if anyone from #Denbighshire, #Flintshire or even #Cheshire has a succession I'm all ears! (Not the zoo though)
