Not sure where we're going apart from to a former B&B guest's 70th birthday party at Stalybridge in mid-July. It will be a luxury to wander without a time constraint! <br />Am now going to look up nb Whio before getting up for brekkie!<br />Cheers, Marilyn and DavidMarilyn McDonaldhttp://www.cherswud.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-31842694231638062592014-05-22T16:49:23.875+00:002014-05-22T16:49:23.875+00:00Hi Bryce
