It was a busy day yesterday, a dive up to Newcastle and back, so today’s pace is a lot slower and easier. Faffed around the house a bit first thing, then seeing this big bright yellow thing in the sky, it wasn’t an egg yolk so it must have been the sun. That decided it, I would go out for lunch. I chose Chorley and one of my favourite eating […]
The days are getting colder and shorter and daylight is becoming a rare commodity. That being the case I took myself off last Saturday on a ride up to the Lake District, to Keswick. I wanted a longish trip so I could enjoy the most amount of daylight even if it meant coming back mostly in the dark. I took the train up to Lancaster then picked up the Stagecoach […]
Right, so I had a choice. It was a Saturday a week ago and there’s few things worse than a Saturday going to waste. However it was raining, I mean RAINING. So it was either stay in and watch the raindrops tumble down the windowpanes while counting the minutes before bedtime or be brave, put on the big coat ( Northern England term used to describe clothing worn as protection against any form of weather from a mild shower up to and including erupting volcanoes and the arrival of the four horsemen of the apocalypse ). I chose the latter.

It’s only a short journey out to Morecambe, I have a real affection for the place even though it’s looking a bit threadbare in places. Hopefully the […]
Like the song says “The weather outside is frightful” and it is. That said the thought of sitting in the house watching it rain is not one that appeals so I’m off out on the bus with no real agenda to see where the winds of chance blow me too. I started off in Wigan, then to Chorley for a brunch stop, currently I’m on a bus to Preston. I’ll […]
The day started well, the forecast was for ark building weather so it was with a little trepidation that I set out for the Lake District. Storms or no storms I wasn’t going to waste a day staring at the wallpaper. The day was a bit dull but by the time I reached Lancaster the sun was out and I was beginning to regret the big coat. The connection made […]
