Slowly, oh so slowly, Winter is beginning to loose its grip on the world around us, though it’s still going dark about five pm in these parts.
Bored with staring out of the window watching rain clouds scuttling across the skies, a few days back I decided to get out for a Sunday lunch to a favourite spot of mine. I headed out to the Lancashire coast and Lytham, oddly I hadn’t been there since well before Christmas, didn’t realise it has been quite that long.
Right a new year has eased itself into life and is beginning to trundle off into the distance. So it’s time now to clear up the last of the Christmas crackers, half eaten mince pies and crumpled party hats. This entry covers a day trip I took to North Wales, Colwyn Bay in fact. I was coming together of reasons, the eve of the shortest day, the weather was bright […]
A day of doing jobs today, one of which was collecting my new specs from Wigan.
That job done nice and easy, the clock had moved around to almost midday so I thought lunch in Lancashire’s pie capital was the order of the day. Plus while the day was bright and sunny it also had a cool edge to it. I took a wander, breaking in my new specs and weighed up the food options/choices.
2025 is waiting by the exit door with increasing patience, plus the weather is not on its best behaviour so travelling has been influenced by grabbing a likely looking couple of hours by the neck and heading off out.
A few days back I took a trip down to Wrexham. The weather around these parts has slipped back into unfriendly/uncooperative mode but I didn’t feel like sitting in the house staring out of the window. It’s a relatively easy journey and it meant that I wouldn’t be sat sitting at home twiddling my thumbs. It was to be a day out with no set agenda, just go, see, eat some food, perhaps drink some beer.
Sometimes when I’m out and about on my travels I drop on an unexpected treat, this latest one was on Saturday just gone by. The year is slowly getting it’s things together ready to be on it’s way, so the day’s are starting to shorten and the weather is getting a bit more unfriendly. Not the sort of situation that encourage me to be out and about. Nevertheless I decided on a trip up to Morecambe, an easy journey, not too long and there would be plenty of places to shelter in case things got a bit on the inclement side.
