Some photos from our wander round Ferrara, Italy today. Certainly a more enjoyable way of spending a Saturday than watching Burnley at the moment.

A few pics from Vicenza birthplace of Andrea Pallidio founder of the London Palladium and after whom the architectural style is named. I might have made part of this up.

Having been to most of the main tourist spots in Italy we're visiting some the cities not often on the itinerary of folk from the UK. Here's a few pics from Padova or Padua to you Brits.

Been doing some tourist stuff over the last couple of days in the beautiful city of Trieste, Italy.

Abject performance by the Clarets today at WBA today against a fired up Baggies. Can't take any solace in the cricket as Lancashire thrashed by Northants by an innings and 316 runs. Just to cap a dismal day been stuck on the train outside Crewe for over 30 minutes now. Sigh!

New ground tick at @lancscricket.bsky.social Farrington Cricket Centre for the game v Kent. Semi-rural location with buzzards hunting in the next field. Not as peaceful as it looks with trains hurtling along the adjacent West Coast Mainline every few minutes. Great for trainspotters though.

A new resident at Papworth Towers is 2 year old rescue, Sadie. After 3 months without a dog in the house it's great to have some Springer Spaniel chaos again.

Taking a roundabout route to Burnley from Todmorden today.

A quality of Bathams Bitter and cheese & onion cob at the Great Western, Wolverhampton definitely an improvement on a dismal performance by Burnley at Villa Park this afternoon.

It was great to catch up with Rob, Pete and Phil who I shared a house with when we were at Swansea University from 1973 - 1976. It's only taken 49 years for us all to get together again!

Cracking views from Orrest Head, Windermere today. Now it's time for a pint.

A few pics from the top of the Forth Bridge. That full Scottish breakfast didn't seem like such a good idea going up in the hoist.

Just about to be taken up to the viewing platform at the top of the north pier. I'll try not to drop the phone into the Firth of Forth.

That's a proper Scottish breakfast! I can feel a coronary coming on just looking at it.

Having a nostalgic crawl around some of my favourite Edinburgh pubs from the 90's and noughties when I was actually working for a living. It was a tough gig being despatched up here but somebody had to do it.

Craig Papworth @devaclaret.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Made the connection at Long Preston with 2 minutes to spare. Unsurprisingly, I was the only person mad enough to change there.

Today we said farewell to our beautiful Maisy. She was a pain in the bum at times but was a gentle soul who was a massive part of our lives for over fifteen years. We will miss her so much.

Time to celebrate a 5 - 0 away win for Burnley FC at QPR with a pint in the excellent Queen's Head, King's Cross.

Craig Papworth @devaclaret.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

What better way to celebrate a hard fought win for the mighty Burnley FC at Coventry than pint of Bathams Bitter and a pork bap at the Great Western at Wolverhampton.

That's all 36 cask beers in place at Chester Town Hall ready for the West Cheshire CAMRA Beer Festival which starts on Friday westcheshire.camra.org.uk/beerfest

The massed ranks of @bellowhead.bsky.social making a very agreeable racket at Liverpool Philharmonic tonight. They really are a brilliant live band.
