When I travel to Shrewsbury, a regular stop off is the Shrewsbury Coffee House, just a couple of minutes walk from the station. It has a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere and I like to call in for a brew and a round of toast before hitting the town. It’s a good way to move the day on from sitting on the train to exploring the town. I know that Marmite is […]
It was a busy day yesterday, a dive up to Newcastle and back, so today’s pace is a lot slower and easier.

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.
