Well the year is slowly catching on to the idea that it has more seasons in its repertoire than Winter, to that end I chanced a train rip down to Shrewsbury, a favourite location of mine, nestling away in its loop of the River Severn. It’s a straightforward journey and not too long from my local station, an advantage at this time of the year when the days are not […]
The good weather made an encore appearance this weekend just gone so I grabbed it by the throat and headed for the coast. I’d set my sights on Morecambe, get some fresh sea air and make a start on blowing away the Winter doldrums and cobwebs and as daylight is still nose diving around the six thirty mark there was little point in travelling too far. The journey is a […]
The days are inching longer with all the grace and elegance of a broken tooth being pulled.

So the morning after my arrival in Morecambe with an uninvited guest by the name of Bert. Yes the stormy one. I had plans to go to the always entertaining Dickensian Christmas Festival in Ulverston, yes the Dickfest, however Bert had other plans. My plan was to travel up to Morecambe, check into my B&B and then carry on to Ulverston, enjoy the Victorian jollities the head back down to […]
