Oh heck ... here we go 🤣

Can a seagull peer through either though? 😱

The thing with skylights is that I'd worry helicopter pilots can spy on you 🚁👀😄

Some years ago, I was fortunate enough to be on Holyhead Mountain, on such a clear day that all of the following were visible:

* Wicklow Mountains
* Mourne Mountains
* Isle of Man
* South Lakeland fells (Black Combe)

I'm told in certain atmospheric conditions, Scotland is visible too (Galloway)

I'm told that on a very clear day, from the North Wirral coast, you can just about see Anglesey (coast from approx Moelfre to Point Lynas), protruding beyond the tip of The Great Orme, which is very visible, but I never have personally, or the other way, from Anglesey back to The Wirral 🤷😁

The Isle of Man was very visible from Amlwch, Anglesey, the other week. I can never quite spot it from Wirral, although can often see the clouds above where it is - just a bit too far away from us, from a low vantage point too 🤔

That first one, in particular, looks a little tricky to negotiate? 😀😱

Martin Travis @martintravis.bsky.social · 14h

I was there earlier, but must have had my head in the clouds, or maybe was having a caffeine rush after my cappuccino, but I didn't spot any! 🫣🤣

They may have handled it badly, but it does sound like he was deliberately being a bit of a dick? 🤷

Martin Travis @martintravis.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks mate 👍

Martin Travis @martintravis.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I totally get that Cheryl, and that's the 'community pulling together' aspect I like, but it does also feel like there is a nefarious undercurrent 🤔

I do wonder about how it's all funded 🤔

I'm all for events that bring the community together, which encourage pride in our estate, and give the yoof a purpose, but walking past Meadow Crescent does feel somewhat menacing and intimidating, unless I'm just imagining that 🤷
