Right, I’d had my lunch, it was time to wobble onwards and walk off, or at least try to, my Welsh Rarebit. Beaumaris is a compact town, facing out across the Menai Straits to Bangor and the mainland of Wales. While it might be small it does reward with a mixture of corners and enterprises worth looking out for. There will be links etc at the bottom. The close set […]
Arrival in Bangor went trouble free. The train was a “proper” one with carriages and a locomotive. Like having a train set again. It was a brisk walk down to the bus station in the town centre and only a few minutes wait before the bus back out again and across the Straits and into Angelsey. The bus route was a wonder, taking In the small lanes and villages that […]
Out and about today, making the most of the daylight before Winter’s icy hands get a grip on things and the long, languid days fade until the fresh buds of next spring.

Not wanting to waste a day, the seasons are turning through their annual, graceful waltz after all, I decided I would head out to North Wales. Into Conwy first then on to Llandudno. I enjoy the contrast of Conwy with it’s narrow streets […]
So the morning finds me enjoying the pleasures of Manchester’s Piccadilly station. The posh one that handles the trains from somewhere called That London and other south facing places. I’m awaiting the arrival of my Welsh correspondent, Gareth the G-Man. It’s not the busiest of mornings on the station but there’s enough going on to entertain the idle observer. Well you join me now at the end of what has […]
