Been far to busy since getting back to the UK to do much in way of blogging! However things starting to ease off now - one more wedding party tomorrow and that's it for this month at last. We're now in Chester which has more than it's fair share of quirks - they're repairing Eastgate and put up a temporary clockface surrounding the old clock - as you can see someone was looking in the mirror when they designed this one - it's now been corrected but there must have been plenty of red faces all round. And just around the corner from Eastgate is St John's Street where sits a cosy old alehouse - if you look at the pub name more closely you'll see it's a bit of a tongue twister - apparently a pub signwriter long ago had made a bit of a mistake but the landlady quite liked this little touch of whimsy - and the name has stuck!
An irregular travelogue from here and there to let folk know what we're up to!

Chester Irregularities
Been far to busy since getting back to the UK to do much in way of blogging! However things starting to ease off now - one more wedding party tomorrow and that's it for this month at last.

And just around the corner from Eastgate is St John's Street where sits a cosy old alehouse - if you look at the pub name more closely you'll see it's a bit of a tongue twister - apparently a pub signwriter long ago had made a bit of a mistake but the landlady quite liked this little touch of whimsy - and the name has stuck!
