Today I am heading north to my genetic homelands to meet up with my friend Gareth from Cardiff. Just go with that please. The day has the new minted, misty freshness I always enjoy. A soft focussed, impressionism that dresses a day with promise. And yes I have an extensive list of coffee/ cake/ fat rat establishments to carry the two of us through the day.

I’m lucky in that I live within an easy striking distance of the English Lake District. It’s either a couple of hours or so in the car or a similar journey time by train to Windermere. Obviously it’s a popular destination which can make the roads busy so I have a preference for using the train. Not everyone’s cup of tea but it makes it worthwhile if I’m speeding along on the train and I pass traffic jams on the motorway’s or other roads.
When you think of bananas I don’t suppose the steel city of Sheffield is the first place that comes to mind
Todmorden Market is one of my favorites, a proper market where you can buy things you want, not a recycled one where you can have scented candles in as many flavours as you want but not a whole lot else.

Right, cards on the table, I fell out of my bed this morning with no clear idea of what or where I was going to do or go with the day. I’d been pondering on this for most of the week with no success which was more than a bit annoying. I hate a day going to waste like that. My solution was to get down to the railway station […]
Okay, first visit of the day was the Botanic Gardens on the edge of the city. It’s not a long walk from the station and the Eccleshall Road stretch is interesting with it’s spread of indie shops and bars. The first decision was food now or food after the gardens, it was food now… I went to a place I hadn’t been to in a while, I was glad to […]
