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 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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Hello, it’s a sunny day up here in the north west of England and you find me on the top deck of a Stagecoach 555 bus. I’m heading up to the Lakes, possiblity Keswick, to grab some autumn sunshine and fresh air. The days are slowly shortening, the sunlight is running for cover just that little bit sooner each day, so it’s time to stock up on the day out […]
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 […]
