CHESTER. A Lucky Dip.

Wet weather today, storms a coming to the UK. Well it is November.

I’m a big kid still and few things stir my heart more that the sight of a steam locomotive. I’ve been into Chester today and I knew that something was occurin’ by the sight of people lining up on the road bridge that crosses one end of Chester station. “It’s a Black Five” Was the answer I got when I asked what was expected and sure enough a few minutes […]

I took a trip up to Lytham at the weekend, it’s a favourite destination of mine. A place to wander and get some fresh air, a place to chase down a pleasing meal or a place just to find a quiet corner and sit and watch the world go about it’s business.

The day gathers itself in with an eiderdown of clouds to make way for the night and the spars and masts of the boats moored in the harbour are silhouetted against the darkening sky.

A had business to do in that London but in between it I managed to do a bit of a walkabout.

The Eastgate clock has been a feature of Chester’s city walls since 1899, having been built to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee two years earlier.
