Rain, rain go away and come again another day. Up here in this part of North West England we have had an unwelcome visitor in the shape of storm Gareth. While its effects around where I live have not been too bad I know that it has caused quite a large amount of flooding, damage to buildings and travel disruption for others. Set against that a few weeks of deathly […]

I needed to get out of the house for a couple of hours and give my car a warm through as it had been standing for a couple of days in the snow and the rain. I live near the northern part of Cheshire which puts a clutch of market towns within easy reach. For this trip I set my sights on […]
