Yes I know it’s January and a wet one at that but the days are beginning to drag a little. The fun and frolics of Christmas and New Year are back in their cardboard box in the attic and it’s now the long, slow trudge through the soggy beginning of the year towards the changing of the clocks and the days moving from short into long trousers.

So as anyone who follows these ramblings will know I have a selection of bolt holds and hideaways, cafes and pubs , dotted hear and there one of which is […]
October is waiting in the wings, Autumn has its bags packed and is waiting for the taxi. There’s a glimmer of sunlight and a sliver of blue sky overhead. I thought I would chance a run out somewhere rather than let a day go to waste. You don’t get a refund on days you do nothing with. Playing safe I decided on Lancaster, it’s a no trains day so it […]
