Every day that I go for a walk, if I follow my normal route, I will walk past the bus station. To be honest, I don’t pay it a lot of attention, or at least I haven’t been. Whilst not becoming obsessed, that will change a little bit. I’ll hazard a bet that sometime inContinue reading “1290 – The Bus Station”

I was a bit fired up after yesterday’s facebook post, which was incredibly well received by my friends, and was going to do a post about what was happening at the cross streets (north & south), which are about halfway down the high street. From a period sometime before we arrived in town these twoContinue reading “1289 – How it went this morning”

I went for a walk this morning. Before I left I checked the temperature and it was 10C. I thought that might be a bit cold, so in addition to my coat I put on a fleece, my flat cap and started out. Pretty much by the time I reached the end of the streetContinue reading “1288 – Walking”

I want to tell you a little bit about the bird table, I am delighted to say that it is quite popular with the local bird population, particularly the starlings. They are an absolute delight. It is also popular with the pigeons, now really I don’t mind them – most of the time. But justContinue reading “1287 – The Bird Table”

I want to write about my plans for the week ahead. The trouble is that if I go into specific details of what is on the schedule and I then don’t accomplish the plan, I both look and feel a bit silly. I have some stuff planned, which I may or may not do, butContinue reading “1286 – The week ahead”

At one point today, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to follow my plans to visit Ron Lines, the Railway shop. But, in the end the change of plans worked to my advantage and the visit went ahead. The manager (owner?) and his assistant were very friendly and extremely helpful. After a briefContinue reading “1285 – The Railway shop visit”

Our visit to the Watercress line last week has once more inspired me to look at my non-existent model railway. At this stage I have a very rough idea of what I want to do, but only the most basic idea of how to do it. So tomorrow I’m going on a little adventure. There’sContinue reading “1284 – railways”

I got awakened last night, about 3AMish. It must have been a clap of thunder that did it. The lightning was quite strong, and I would time after each flash by counting the seconds, the claps of thunder were fairly consistently 4 – 8 seconds away. It went on for maybe half an hour toContinue reading “1283 – The Weather”

Yesterday I wrote a kind of almost reasonable post and clicked on publish. I think it was probably about an hour later I suddenly realised that I hadn’t put a photo in. So, todays post contains yesterday’s picture. I don’t know why that happened, it just did. I didn’t go for a walk this morning.Continue reading “1282 – Let’s have another go.”

Out for my morning walk, I’ve started taking photos of the shops that have closed down on the high street. I’m not entirely sure why I am doing this, I think it may be something to do with my thoughts on revitalising the high street. Not that I have any plans mind you. I’ve foundContinue reading “1281 – The New Bus Station”
