It’s been an odd week, nothing drastic or bad, just oddly uncooperative, like trying to run up the down escalator. It’s possible but tricky and time consuming. Anyway rather than bounce around the house like a grumpy ping pong ball I have come out and onto the Wirral, over the water from Liverpool. It’s not a long journey but long enough to relax and watch the world go by. First […]
I write this sat at in the very pleasant Tite & Locke pub on Lancaster railway station. Given that I had no plans for the day it has free wheeled along very nicely. 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 I landed up in Keswick in the early afternoon, I’d no particular plan for the day so like I said earlier I didn’t want the blue skies and sunshine go to waste. The ride up was as beautiful and as interesting as ever, the trees are working their way through their palette of colours on the way to Winter’s bareness. I enjoyed my pie and chips so it was […]
So where did I leave you? It’s all getting a bit breathless this day out. The bus got me into the centre of Llandudno, not far from the tram station for the the Great Orme tramway. So it made sense to take a ride up and enjoy the spectacular views and the very fresh air. The tram started service around 1902, and has been quietly trundling up and down ever […]
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 […]
So the morning finds me enjoying the pleasures of Manchester’s Piccadilly station. The posh one that handles the trains from somewhere called That London and other south facing places. I’m awaiting the arrival of my Welsh correspondent, Gareth the G-Man. It’s not the busiest of mornings on the station but there’s enough going on to entertain the idle observer. Well you join me now at the end of what has […]
