Right another North Wales photo bomb. The weather has been curiously kind lately, I’m hoping it’s not getting summer out of the way early so it can disappear away for a holiday when the good weather arrives. The days are still short though so I’m not minded to go too far, it’s not very exciting when the world outside the train carriage window is dressed in various shades of black. […]

It’s a straightforward journey and not too long from my local station, an advantage at this time of the year when the days are not […]
The days are inching longer with all the grace and elegance of a broken tooth being pulled.

My plans had been straight up to Ulverston then head back down into Morecambe, check in and have the rest of the weekend devoted to doing an awful lot of nothing and taking my time […]
As any readers of these ramblings of mine will know I do like a market, a proper one where you can buy things you need as much as things you want.
