Earlier I had breakfast, now I’m having lunch. I’m sat in Cafe Ambio in Astley Park, Chorley. Together with the town and park it’s one of my selection of Sunday ” go to ” places, where I can have a wander around and have a think about ongoing projects and future ones. The Hall is always worth a visit, it’s open at the weekend, though at the moment it’s undergoing […]
In an earlier post I described what I had for lunch ( very good it was too ). I never said though what made me choose that particular place. It was this door. https://www.visitsnowdonia.info/bangor https://www.visitsnowdonia.info/bangor https://domukafe.com/ SOME OTHER LINKS. https://www.amazon.co.uk/-/e/B00TKGBNYM https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Lachlan1/sets https://lachlan-main.pixels.com/ https://www.artflakes.com/en/shop/lachlan-main
An evening stroll along the Tyne took me past the tilting bridge on the Tyne. It’s unusual design means it opens a bit like an eye winking to allow shipping to pass underneath.

A favourite area of mine to travel to is West Yorkshire. A favourite town there is Huddersfield. A short walk up the hill from the railway station is Greenhead Park, I have a soft spot for town parks.
