St Luke's, Winrmarleigh - in the setting sun

St Luke's Church is in the village of Winmarleigh, Lancashire, England. It is an active Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the deanery of Lancaster and Morecambe.

The church was built in 1875–1876 by Paley and Austin, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

St Luke's is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a roof of red tiles. Its plan consists of a nave, a chancel, a porch to the south, and a chapel and a vestry to the north. There is no tower, but there is a wooden bell-cote with a spire between the nave and chancel.

Bridge 16 is just 2 or 3 minutes walk from my home, on the Leeds - Liverpool canal. It is the nearest bridge to the Millennium Link - which opened in 2002.

The Ribble Link connects the once-isolated Lancaster Canal to the rest of the national waterway network.The idea for the Millennium Ribble Link dates back 200 years to the promotion of the Lancaster Canal. There were several proposals for linking the two halves of the Lancaster Canal, north and south of the Ribble, but they were expensive and eventually a tramroad was built.

There were other schemes to link the Leeds & Liverpool Canal at Tarleton with the Lancaster Canal at Preston, but they came to nothing, as did the idea of a floating towpath across the Ribble with a short canal from the river to the Lancaster Canal.The dream of connecting the Lancaster Canal to the rest of the inland waterway network never fully died, however, and an alternative scheme was devised to canalise the Savick Brook at the southern end of the waterway.

The £5.4 million project received a major boost when the Ribble Link Trust successfully bid for a grant of £2.7 million from the Millennium Commission.

I woke up this morning with zero motivation to go to work so I sacked it off and went for a walk in the Lake District. This is my favourite place to clear my head.

I`ve ran around that area loads mate, it`s stunning.

There`s also Beacon Tarn which isn`t too far away, which is a great place to swim in the Summer, as it`s shallow and warm and not a lot of people know about it, so it doesn`t get hammered with tourists.
