Hello and good day to you all,back HOME after spending some time "up north".We stayed in a nice hotel 15 miles from Chester,and as Mrs.B had not seen that part of the country we did the tourist bit.As I haven't been there since the 60's I looked at it through different eyes,my wife was born and bred in Kent, and comes from a long line of Kent farmers, said it was the most beautiful part of the world that she as ever seen,so much for the garden of England.We went to see the Anderton boat lift, Wedgewood factory in Stoke,North Wales and some of the coast as well as some of the things that I should have seen when I lived in Lancashire, but didn't.Went up to Wigan to see the people who left of my old family and some of my new family.For the first time I realised Wigan,as a town, dosen't interest me any more,and I was pleased to be back here to my home.Wigan is in my head and not half way up the M6.It's a good feeling really.
