A bit of a then and now post, again from Wales. I took a trip down to Rhyl on the North Wales coast to take look at the revamped Queens market. It’s a project that seems to have been dawdling along for a while, a side effect of streams of project updates is that I end up feeling that things have been going on for longer than they have
Right, so I had a choice. It was a Saturday a week ago and there’s few things worse than a Saturday going to waste. However it was raining, I mean RAINING. So it was either stay in and watch the raindrops tumble down the windowpanes while counting the minutes before bedtime or be brave, put on the big coat ( Northern England term used to describe clothing worn as protection against any form of weather from a mild shower up to and including erupting volcanoes and the arrival of the four horsemen of the apocalypse ). I chose the latter.
Well where has the time gone? We parted company at Manchester Piccadilly as I was making my way to York. Let’s try and catch up with one another.
The Weekend has been and gone and Monday finds me a bit breathless after a Saturday trip up to Appleby to see the horse fair. Checking back I was startled to see that it was ten years since I was last there. So I decided it was time for a catch up.
Well just to show my life isn’t an endless parade of fun and self indulgence I took a ride into Warrington last week to but some wallpaper to finish off decorating my kitchen. I know, who needs, sex, drugs, rock and roll etc?
A couple of years ago now I took a rail trip out to North Wales, to the slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The route was out to Llandudno Junction on the North Wales line to Holyhead and then down the valley of the River Conwy.
