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 […]
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 weather was a little on the grey side to start but then decided to cheer up and put a happy face on. […]
The day had been going well, however a couple of transport glitches means I’m at Oxenholme station waiting for a train down to Lancaster. No point in getting ratty about it, it is what it is. Anyway there’s something a bit magical about a railway out in the countryside in the evening. The local wildlife begins to take over the station as those dratted humans beggar off out of the […]
