took me a good hour or more to find a place to stay for a one night trip to the seaside over the weekend , i know its still the end of the holiday season but how hard can it be to find somewhere with parking and breakfast ? i tried all the usual sites and even looked at premier inn etc with not much luck , its no good recommending one 40 miles away or somewhere wanting over £1k fir one night ! I know its short notice although we only just decided as mrs ck isnt working on a sat for a change and i was not going to work extra and im giving the knee a rest still so i thought it would be a good idea to have a trip as mrs ck and the kids always moan we dont do anything ( yes we do but if they dont surface till after dinner its hard to plan anything )
Finally managed to find somewhere but breakfast is extra but not listed in price but at least it is in the right place and i can park .

I was surprised at how expensive York was for the weekend after next but it turns out that it's the return to university, so that may have bumped prices up. The alternative consideration was the far cheaper Scarborough. It's definitely off season prices there.

I must have got lucky as last Sunday set me back around £40 at the Premier Inn by the train station.

The second heavy rain shower of the day has passed through. I think I'll give it half an hour to dry up a bit - which should be long enough for a cuppa - and then go out for a while.

...Or perhaps I'll give it another half hour as it's raining again.

I've been trying to downsize my vinyl collection, which is vast. However after the recent sudden passing of one of my closest friends, I've inherited her record collection, which is sizeable... I've got work to do.

What kind of music is it? My granddaughter is building up her collection of vinyl at the moment.
I hate using the word 'eclectic' but that's what she's into.... All sorts of (hate this, too...) genres..

Growing up in Birmingham’s Shirley I knew that ‘ley’ meant a clearing in the wood. Tuesday’s trip to another one, Hagley, has made me realise just how packed the area is with them, Dudley, Moseley, Hockley, Henley, Yardley, Cradley, Romsley, Langley, Frankley, the list goes on and on. I never realised this at the time.
Oh and not forgetting Tyseley of Reynolds 531 fame of course !

There's everything from Pinky & Perky to Crass. Most music lovers have an eclectic taste. Why stick to just one genre?
