Time’s meat slicer is beginning to shave away at the days as the end of the year sneaks in on the quiet. I fancied a trip out, not too long, before the days turn into the annual “blink and you’ll miss them” short bursts of sunlight fighting for attention between great walls of murk.

Hello again. I’m heading to Chorley for the Chorley Live music event, the day has been warm and bright so I decided to take a roundabout bus route to get there.

I chose the latter.
