... by the canal. Further up the canal we watched narrow baots coming through the Wharton lock and picked blackberries while we waited.
We visited Tattenhall market for some homemade goodies and stopped on the way home for creak tea at Tarporley! Great day.

When we arrived back at Holyhead from our ferry journey from Dublin, we continued our journey up to Blackpool. It was Mark's idea!

Unfortunately we got stuck in traffic for about 1 hour trying to get into Blackpool. Furthermore, when we reached the guesthouse we were meant to be staying in it became apparent that we had accidentally booked the accommodation for the night before! Worse still, they had no more rooms available for us! Luckily, we were ...

... instruments for free and they don't count as extra luggage, provided they're not too large .

Liverpool was more fantastic than I anticipated. Braden and Marianne didn't like it as much as I did, but it was still very fun. Let me start by how we were able to get to Liverpool. So England has been experienceing its worst rain storm on record which has resulted in massive flooding. Whales is under 4ft of water. This created major problems for use trying to travel north of Bath. We were even luck to get into Bath, apparently they closed access to the city and stonehenge ...

... 80's when all my friends were listening to the Bay City Rollers - I had more taste don't you think? With a little help from my friends, I did begin to appreciate later 90's bands like The Church and Midnight Oil. When I'm sixty four I will still be listening to Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. Across the universe kids are listening to remakes of "old" music and wondering why us oldies know the words. So how come they can't think of some original ...
