Yes I know it’s January and a wet one at that but the days are beginning to drag a little. The fun and frolics of Christmas and New Year are back in their cardboard box in the attic and it’s now the long, slow trudge through the soggy beginning of the year towards the changing of the clocks and the days moving from short into long trousers. I decided on […]
The days are getting colder and shorter and daylight is becoming a rare commodity. That being the case I took myself off last Saturday on a ride up to the Lake District, to Keswick. I wanted a longish trip so I could enjoy the most amount of daylight even if it meant coming back mostly in the dark. I took the train up to Lancaster then picked up the Stagecoach […]
Thursday last was one of those days. I was at home trying to work through stuff but I knew that I wasn’t making any real progress. Days like this come and go so I’ve developed an approach that works for me. If I’m not getting anywhere with the days jobs, I just leave it and go out for a couple of hours, come back and start again.

I chose the latter.
Right, when last we spoke I was leaving Chorley and heading to Lancaster. Well I made it there, it was still raining by the way, and after a walk in the rain I decided to head out to Morecambe and sea the sea. It’s only a short journey out to Morecambe, I have a real affection for the place even though it’s looking a bit threadbare in places. Hopefully the […]
