January 2019
Since taking up photography I have been lucky enough to meet some very interesting people and visit some fabulous places.
As part of a tour of the Wirral area I was taken to Heswall and what an incredible place this is.
The day was bitterly cold as befits a January, blowing an absolute gale, and the ground was sodden and swampy, but so worth the visit.
This is situated on the banks of the Dee Estuary on the Wirral and is the final resting place of many once magnificent boats that had the misfortune to find themselves marooned on the mud banks.
There are literally dozens of boats in many stages of decay and it was an absolute joy to wander amongst them and find so much texture and interest.
You can't help but wonder about the story of these boats. Surely something could have been done to salvage them or is it just an inescapable fact of life, that once we are past our best then we are found somewhere out of sight and out of mind to quietly crumble and fall apart!
Possibly, but I for one am not there yet. Bit of life left in the old girl yet!
After all, there are still so many wonderful places to explore and we have a lot of lost time to make up for!
