North West England, UK - September 2010

After Tor we headed down to the North West, home of all football! Steve snapped some Formby photos of his teenage stamping ground. So a few pictures of pubs then... and spent a happy few days with his parents (updating their bathroom for them - he just can't stop with the DIY!). Took a brief rest to meet Phil and Trish. Linda did some serious shoe shopping with Kathleen, far more satisfying!

We also whizzed off to Chester to meet up with some very old friends Sue and Chris who live in Jersey but came up north to see us - great evening - we miss our Jersey visits!

After that we split up for a few days, Linda headed off to Stafford where she spent her troublesome teenage years and met up with old partner in crime Helen. Lovely day spent with handsome dog 'Mr Hector Percival' and oh so cute hubby Brian (have I got that the right way round???). Anyway to stop any confusion it's Hector in the photo!!!

Some quality time also spent by Linda with her da, in deep pusuit of the answer to Liverpools performance problems and dads obsession with 'ding dong' food! Time was all too short and we had to start our journey homeward far too soon.....
