BUXTON. A Derbyshire Day Out.

Well as the temperatures outside bounce around between cold, very cold and really really cold my list compiling for places to visit goes on. Buxton, the Derbyshire spa town has been added to the 2023 list.

If you take the road or the train out towards Oban you’ll pass Dalmally and Loch Awe. Sat brooding by the shore of the loch is Kilchurn Castle.

The winter planning continues, though as I look out of the window I wonder if summer is ever coming back or was it just a figment of my imagination.

It wasn’t the most promising of days but the cabin fever had been biting hard all week so I braved the unfriendly elements and took a train ride up to the town of Leyland, a little to the south of Preston in Lancashire.

Well I’m sitting here in my little office at the end of another cold, grey and wet day. Winter is so much fun at times.

One of the things I look forward to on my cake and coffee hunting trips is finding somewhere that not only has the pre-requite good coffee and wonderful cake but as a bonus has a big window that I can sit by and watch the world go by.
