CHESTER. Music By The River.
When the days are longer and the weather kinder I like to take a trip out to Chester, the walled city hard by the Welsh Border.

LYTHAM. Elegance & Speed.
Come with me to the seaside, to Lytham on the Lancashire coast. The skies are bright and sunny and the Green is thronged with people and cars. Not just any cars but cars with style, elegance and character. From the powered up monster to the sleek elegance of the Cad’s roadster. The car show and the 1940’s Weekend are on my “Go To” list. A chance for my camera and […]
SNAPSHOT! Beaumaris, Walkabout Time.
Right, I’d had my lunch, it was time to wobble onwards and walk off, or at least try to, my Welsh Rarebit. Beaumaris is a compact town, facing out across the Menai Straits to Bangor and the mainland of Wales. While it might be small it does reward with a mixture of corners and enterprises worth looking out for. There will be links etc at the bottom. The close set […]
SNAPSHOT! Birkenhead, A Walk In The Park.
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 […]
SNAPSHOT! Lancaster, And So The Day Closes.
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 […]
SNAPSHOT! Llandudno, Coffee &Cake By The Coast.
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 […]
