It occurred to me that visitors from other lands might like to get a sense of where I am writing from.  We live at the top of a long road - the house numbers go from 1 to 204. Our road runs parallel to Ecclesall Road which is the main artery leading out of the city of Sheffield to the south west. In less than five minutes I can walk out to that main road where I can catch buses or visit the post office, local shops, a pharmacy, a Chinese takeaway, a fish and chip shop, "The Banner Cross" pub, two smaller micro-pubs, various hairdressers, a cobbler's shop, various estate agents, a newsagent's shop and a Persian bakery etc.. This afternoon I needed to renew my "Lotto" ticket at the Sainsbury's local supermarket so I took my camera along. It was a mild but grey November afternoon with no sign of rain. For a change, I decided to present these photos in black and white apart from the picture at the top which I took when looking  in the window of Blundells...

  Aviva Trains Wales are notoriously a bad ride. I’m on the 12.18 straight through to Manchester and already it feels that I’m on something out of the Wild West.  I messaged a friend so, as the usual rough looking yobs that often frequent the coast trains got off in Flint. The refreshment trolley man was a breath of fresh air though. Small and wiry and used to being ignored I suspect, he ambled down the aisle muttering a low chant of a list of his refreshments like a Monk chanting a prayer. “ Tea, coffees, hot chocolate……..soft drinks…hard drinks……very hard drinks, snacks, crisps, sandwiches, all manner of things to stuff your faces with……complementary napkin….with every purchase.”   Can anyone suggest a nice place for breakfast in central Manchester…I haven’t got a clue. Off for drinks and a meal later and the well reviewed horror play Let The Right One In at the Royal Exchange What Larks Pip from Going Gently https://ift.tt/9jm36Lu
