It was an unpromising day weather wise and it stayed that way. I risked a journey out, the trains were on strike so I opted for a bus journey out to Southport and back. There were some hardy souls out, dodging the showers, wrapped up warm. I’m always on the lookout for different places to enjoy a coffee and watch the world go by, I hadn’t tried Heimat on Wesley […]
Keeping my completest streak happy, I thought I would wrap up my day out to Beaumaris, the day after in fact. I enjoyed the trip, yes it could have been a little bit brighter and warmer but it is the beginning of November so you get what you’re given weather wise. I had a walk around while I used up the last half an hour before the bus back to […]
Arrival in Bangor went trouble free. The train was a “proper” one with carriages and a locomotive. Like having a train set again. It was a brisk walk down to the bus station in the town centre and only a few minutes wait before the bus back out again and across the Straits and into Angelsey. The bus route was a wonder, taking In the small lanes and villages that […]

Hello, it’s a sunny day up here in the north west of England and you find me on the top deck of a Stagecoach 555 bus. I’m heading up to the Lakes, possiblity Keswick, to grab some autumn sunshine and fresh air. The days are slowly shortening, the sunlight is running for cover just that little bit sooner each day, so it’s time to stock up on the day out […]
So where did I leave you? It’s all getting a bit breathless this day out. The bus got me into the centre of Llandudno, not far from the tram station for the the Great Orme tramway. So it made sense to take a ride up and enjoy the spectacular views and the very fresh air. The tram started service around 1902, and has been quietly trundling up and down ever […]
