The year is slowly dragging itself out of the winter slump, though sunshine is still as unlikely as a win on the lottery. So when the big yellow thing appears in the sky you don’t hesitate but just grab your coat and head out of the door before the weather changes its mind.
Well the weather is still firmly in grumpy mood so that can take the edge off travelling. No matter If I’m not careful the clock will spin around and I will be into November, grumbling that the year has gone by and I’ve done nothing.
Right a new year has eased itself into life and is beginning to trundle off into the distance. So it’s time now to clear up the last of the Christmas crackers, half eaten mince pies and crumpled party hats. This entry covers a day trip I took to North Wales, Colwyn Bay in fact. I was coming together of reasons, the eve of the shortest day, the weather was bright […]
A day of doing jobs today, one of which was collecting my new specs from Wigan.
That job done nice and easy, the clock had moved around to almost midday so I thought lunch in Lancashire’s pie capital was the order of the day. Plus while the day was bright and sunny it also had a cool edge to it. I took a wander, breaking in my new specs and weighed up the food options/choices.
2025 is waiting by the exit door with increasing patience, plus the weather is not on its best behaviour so travelling has been influenced by grabbing a likely looking couple of hours by the neck and heading off out.
A few days back I took a trip down to Wrexham. The weather around these parts has slipped back into unfriendly/uncooperative mode but I didn’t feel like sitting in the house staring out of the window. It’s a relatively easy journey and it meant that I wouldn’t be sat sitting at home twiddling my thumbs. It was to be a day out with no set agenda, just go, see, eat some food, perhaps drink some beer.
