It wasn’t the most promising of days but the cabin fever had been biting hard all week so I braved the unfriendly elements and took a train ride up to the town of Leyland, a little to the south of Preston in Lancashire.
The plan was to have a walk around Worden Park on the outskirts of town I have written about it in the past, there is a truly marvellous model railway set up built and run by a model engineering society, one day I’ll crack and take a ride on it. In the warmer weather obviously.
The weather was straining to be on its best behaviour and the sun put in a couple of appearances which helped the day along. That meant I managed to get my walk in and only got into drowned rat mode when I got back to the railway station a couple of hours later.
It was good to get out, January has always been a bit of a non month for me, the dust of Christmas is still settling and the year has not yet warmed up enough to do much with it.
I enjoyed the day out but I also enjoyed being back home in the warmth.
