Arrival in Bangor went trouble free. The train was a “proper” one with carriages and a locomotive. Like having a train set again. It was a brisk walk down to the bus station in the town centre and only a few minutes wait before the bus back out again and across the Straits and into Angelsey. The bus route was a wonder, taking In the small lanes and villages that […]
Out and about today, making the most of the daylight before Winter’s icy hands get a grip on things and the long, languid days fade until the fresh buds of next spring. The destination for today is North Wales, Beaumaris on Angelsey to be exact. It’s a train and bus exploration so it will be interesting. It will also involve cake, coffee etc at some point.
I took a ride over to Chorley yesterday evening, it was the second night of the always entertaining Chorley Live music event, where shops, pubs and squares become venues for live music and the spoken word. It’s a great night out and has a fixed place on my calendar. There’s a mix of music types and performance, just get your entry wristband, it’s £5 and covers both nights Some Links […]

The reason I’m sat with a pint ( don’t tell lies this is your second) is that my train was cancelled, so this is one of the more comfortable ways to wait for the next one to […]

So it’s like this. I fell out of my bed in a state of some befuddlement, having to buy a new washing machine does that to me. Not wanting to waste a day, the seasons are turning through their annual, graceful waltz after all, I decided I would head out to North Wales. Into Conwy first then on to Llandudno. I enjoy the contrast of Conwy with it’s narrow streets […]
