What was your #ChildhoodCinema?

Hippodrome, Wrexham.

Fierce usherettes and a welcome from the owner Barry Flanagan.

Destroyed by a fire and now a site for redevelopment.
Interior of a cinema, curtained off screen, red painted walls, seats and ornately decorated balcony, art deco lamp hangs overhead

Gorgeous winter light for this morning's Exeter #parkrun volunteering. Alternative course again as icy in parts...
Early morning light over Exeter quay, shadowy buildings and boats, purple yellow and white light Early light over frosted fields Parkrun position 6, a gate in between fields, glowing light behind a tree Icy puddles on a path next to a tree

Dark running. The cathedral in the distance, viewable from many places in the city as it would have been since medieval times.
Dark skies, turrets of Exeter Cathedral illuminated in the distance, near to the person some leaves in shadow

Frosty running this morning. Took it gentle and slow and stopped at all the Xmas installations in town to take stupid selfies. Most enjoyable

No cheating. Repost with the most recent photo of your pet.

I don't know why there is a bagpiper at Exmouth parkrun but I love it very much.

Obsessed that our local cafe has put Santa hat covers on all their seats, most festive fry up ever
Photo taken of the inside of a local fry up cafe, view of the person taking the photo slightly visible as a reflection.

A dip in the Dart so cold it burned and a peek into St Raphael's of Huccaby. Beautiful old church on the moor, with wifi and a handy contactless donation gizmo, we pilgrims coughed up a few quid #dartmoor
Black wooden beams, simple white church interior, beautiful old stained glass above the altar

Pre Christmas swim in the Teign, 8 degrees. Friend's 80 yo mother says a snack after a cold swim is a shivery bite so today's was my first mince pie of the season.

Dark running. Hill sprints.
Lamplit narrow uphill, buildings on the right and a glimpse of a red car.

Dark running. Met a nice dog.
View of lights across the river Exe at the quayside early one December morning.

Current obsession is almond butter. No idea why but I've baked it today into breakfast for a stupid early train on Monday.
Freshly baked almond and walnut oaty muffins

Dark running by the Exe.
Dark water to dark sky, reflections of light in the water, to the right an illuminated building (an old inn, once a cafe and now a home)

This morning's dark run above the catacombs.
Black skies and horizon apart from some lights and the shadow hint of a church spire

Today's swim spot, in the East Dart falls on #dartmoor. Rooibos and mini eggs for post swim recovery.
