On my travels, I’m heading down to Shrewsbury to catch up with a friend before Christmas takes over and the roast dinner/ chocolate/ drink event horizon hits. This journey down Through the Welsh borderlands is a favourite of mine, each season adds a different flavour. Today’s is a light dusting of snow and a crisp, sharp light cutting through an idling mist.
I write this sat at in the very pleasant Tite & Locke pub on Lancaster railway station. Given that I had no plans for the day it has free wheeled along very nicely.

The current plan is to Lancaster by train then the Lakes Rover bus ticket onwards, a bit of bet hedging coming into play there. After a flurry of cancellations things seem to have settled down so let’s see what the day brings. Things have settled down and trains are […]
Today’s expedition is to Carlisle. Yes I was there a week ago but I was only passing through so I thought I would go back and have more of a wander around. As I type this the train has left Lancaster and skirted Morecambe Bay which is looking fine in the morning sunshine as the wave crests dance and sparkle.
