A day of doing jobs today, one of which was collecting my new specs from Wigan.
That job done nice and easy, the clock had moved around to almost midday so I thought lunch in Lancashire’s pie capital was the order of the day. Plus while the day was bright and sunny it also had a cool edge to it. I took a wander, breaking in my new specs and weighed up the food options/choices.
2025 is waiting by the exit door with increasing patience, plus the weather is not on its best behaviour so travelling has been influenced by grabbing a likely looking couple of hours by the neck and heading off out.
A few days back I took a trip down to Wrexham. The weather around these parts has slipped back into unfriendly/uncooperative mode but I didn’t feel like sitting in the house staring out of the window. It’s a relatively easy journey and it meant that I wouldn’t be sat sitting at home twiddling my thumbs. It was to be a day out with no set agenda, just go, see, eat some food, perhaps drink some beer.
Right we’re into November and 2025 is now starting the job of get it’s things together for the end of the year. Suitcase, that missing sock, the tickets and the passport etc. I’m sorting out too, as well. Housekeeping through the photo files, discovering images and unfinished blog posts that have been gathering the digital dust on the hard drives. There’ll be no particular thread to these, they’ll appear as […]
Recently I took a trip up to Newcastle and on the return I came back by my favourite through Alston and over the summit at Hartside and down into Melmerby and on to Penrith. The view from the top is spectacular, from the Lakes across the Solway Firth to Scotland. Here’s the route down from Hartside Summit. Not one of my usual posts, but I enjoy the area and the […]
Sometimes when I’m out and about on my travels I drop on an unexpected treat, this latest one was on Saturday just gone by. The year is slowly getting it’s things together ready to be on it’s way, so the day’s are starting to shorten and the weather is getting a bit more unfriendly. Not the sort of situation that encourage me to be out and about. Nevertheless I decided on a trip up to Morecambe, an easy journey, not too long and there would be plenty of places to shelter in case things got a bit on the inclement side.
