Southport Pier


 You would swear that you were on a pilgrimage
to Lourdes.
Overtaken by wheelchairs and buggies on their way to the end.
But there was bugger all on the end!
Was a gate going to open?
The fishermen were evidently not fishers of men.
Scottish accents
"How are things in Cumbernauld? have you heard?"
The sun is shining and life is short 
Funland?
It was like a film set for widows and widowers.
The Hall of Mirrors was free.
On a clear day you can see Blackpool.
It was not a clear day.
everything is in slow motion on 
Southport Pier

  1. Well, yes, it as exactly as you describe - though Blackpool Tower does add a certain ambience to the vista :)
