CHESTER. A Splash Of Colour.
It’s been a grey, cold day here. One of those really unfriendly days, lacking any sort of charm. No crisp sunlight, not even the silvery kiss of freshly fallen snow. Just a lifeless sludge of a day.

SNAPSHOT! Preston. The Orchard & A White Rat.
My plans are fluid at the moment ( see what I did there ?) The train services still do not have their troubles to seek so I’ve curtailed the Ormskirk part of the day and have come up to Preston. I’m currently sat in the above bar with the pints that heads this post. Very good it is too. My normal preference is for the ruby and darker ales but […]
SNAPSHOT! An Astley Hall Sunday. Soup, Cake & Pot Of Tea.
Okay, it’s not the snappiest blog post title I’ve ever come up with but at least it’s accurate. I fancied something a bit more low key after yesterday’s Wirral Wandering. That reminds me, I’ve one more post to sort out from yesterday. I’m currently sat in Cafe Ambio which is alongside Astley Hall and sits in the Park of the same name right on the edge of Chorley town centre. […]
SNAPSHOT! A Saturday Afternoon In The Park.

My travels have brought me to Birkenhead, it’s a short journey, the best to make the most of the short days. I had a walk through the market […]
SNAPSHOT! New Brighton Coffee & Cake.
You find me having a breather in the very welcoming Sea Shanty cafe opposite the railway station in New Brighton. The day is beginning to cool down now, the light is fading and the clouds are starting to hover like grey vultures. I’ll finish the last of my coffee while I decide to take the short way home or the pretty route. Decisions, decisions…… Some Links. https://www.facebook.com/theseashantynewbrighton/ http://www.visitnewbrighton.com/ https://www.visitwirral.com/ https://lachlan-main.pixels.com/ […]
EDINBURGH. Unsung Heroes Of The Fringe.
A feature of the Edinburgh Fringe that I always take notice of is the army of the flyer distributors that inhabit the Royal Mile around where the preview stages sit. There’s is the unsung task of persuading/cajoling/jollying along the passing punters to come and see their show.
