The Winkley Square People Circle In Preston
Something I Noticed On My Last Preston Visit
Introduction
I used to attend Preston Catholic College for my secondary education and one of the main entrances was on Winkley Square. On my monthly visits to Preston I try and walk through this beautiful Georgian Square, though when I was being taught by the Jesuit priests I don't think I appreciated it as much as I do now.
I discovered this circle of names yesterday and was shocked I hadn't seen it before.
Some of the names I knew and some I didn't.
I also discovered this amazingly in-depth website about the area and Preston in general. Go to this and you might get lost for days.
The Winkley Square People Circle
My intention was to write something about the people and places that I read out on the video but they are all on the people section of the site above here.
And here:
Conclusion
Because the Winkley Square website is so detailed there is no point in me sharing stuff in this story, so it is much shorter than I expected.
I now know a lot more than I did about Winklety Square and am happy to share this resource with you.
I hope you enjoy it, and please explore further, you might be surprised an amazed.
These are some of my friends I met for lunch and the Cafe Bar in Winkley Street, including my Alfredo Tagliatelle. The lunch and service was excellent.
Thank you for reading.

Roads
Introduction Every picture here is from walks I have made and roads that I have seen. Often they are the only sign of human habitation, and I wonder why they were built, obviously to connect two places, but when you are on these roads, or when I am, lots of stories come to mind taking me into some magical mythical worlds although the reality may be a lot more mundane.

Travelers in the Caribbean Experience Major Flight Disruptions Following Airspace Closure
If you were planning a Caribbean getaway recently—or already soaking up the island sun—you may have found your travel plans suddenly turned upside down. Thousands of travelers across the Caribbean experienced major flight disruptions after an unexpected airspace closure brought regional air travel to a near standstill. Flights were canceled, airports overflowed with stranded passengers, and what should have been a relaxing escape quickly became a stressful waiting game.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
