Well here’s a photo bombardment from a weekend trip to the Cumbrian town of Maryport. It feels like this year someone has forgotten to put the order in for a Summer. Either that or the delivery guy has left it safely behind a dustbin in the next street or even the next town. Anyway the forecasts for the weekend looked reasonable, if you didn’t look too closely so I put […]
It’s a Saturday and I’m out and about. My destination is Shrewsbury for starters. It’s Chester Races today and the station is starting to pick up that buzz you get when horses, meet alcohol, meet jolly good day out. No doubt I’ll meet some very happy people on my way back. Hope they have a good time, I hope they remember most of it. So that’s the day kicked off. […]

I chose the latter.
Right, when last we spoke I was leaving Chorley and heading to Lancaster. Well I made it there, it was still raining by the way, and after a walk in the rain I decided to head out to Morecambe and sea the sea. 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 […]
