A winter break in Whitby: coastlines, charm & cold calm days Whitby is one of those places that it would be difficult to not like. Located on the rugged North Yorkshire coast, it’s a town where it’s easy to pass a few hours. Wandering along the cobbled streets really gives you a sense of the […]

Pleasant walking in Reddish Vale country park – Manchester. It’s been a while since we have been walking in Reddish Vale Country Park. The last time I posted a blog from there was back in 2022. You can see that post at this link. It’s a very decent place to go for a wander, on […]

It’s still just about summer – so some more macro pictures It’s still summer (until the 22nd September) and I’ve still been sticking with trying to find something to do whilst current mobility restrictions caused by events at the start of June limit my choices.
