Dear readers you find me in Preston, Lancashire, UK. I am heading north to Lancaster and then on to Morecambe on the beautiful Morecambe Bay. We’re now in the long stretch of the short, blink and you miss them days, so I’m making the most of every opportunity to get out into whatever sunshine is on offer. On the next leg, the day unfolds.

I ended up in Warrington, it’s only a short train ride away so I wasn’t going to lose too much of the day to pondering. […]
It’s Saturday and I’m on my travels. The railways are still like playing roulette but you have to make the effort.
