When I travel to Shrewsbury, a regular stop off is the Shrewsbury Coffee House, just a couple of minutes walk from the station. It has a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere and I like to call in for a brew and a round of toast before hitting the town. It’s a good way to move the day on from sitting on the train to exploring the town. I know that Marmite is […]
It was a busy day yesterday, a dive up to Newcastle and back, so today’s pace is a lot slower and easier. Faffed around the house a bit first thing, then seeing this big bright yellow thing in the sky, it wasn’t an egg yolk so it must have been the sun. That decided it, I would go out for lunch.

Time’s meat slicer is beginning to shave away at the days as the end of the year sneaks in on the quiet. I fancied a trip out, not too long, before the days turn into the annual “blink and you’ll miss them” short bursts of sunlight fighting for attention between great walls of murk. To that end I picked Bangor, the university town in North Wales as my destination, it’s […]
