Back on the road

The star of light at Chester Cathedral
Thank you all for your lovely comments on the Positive News story - and apologies for not answering them all - we're back out travelling and delighted to be doing so.   After so much illness this year we're slowly getting back on track, although the body has been grumbling a bit lol

Our new songs have been getting a great response, especially the more political rants that we've both been writing lately - it seems that nobody is happy with politicians at the minute.

So far we've been in the Lake District, Redcar on the East coast, Hull, across the M62 to Bradford and further along the same motorway to Northwich and yesterday we spent the afternoon at the Christmas market in Chester - what a beautiful town that is.  And it was freezing cold, perfect weather for a Christmas market.

Have a great week whatever you're doing - we're heading back north now, to Yorkshire, then up to Northhumberland and finishing up in the Scottish borders, where apparently it's been snowing - yikes - hopefully we'll miss the worst of it.

    Nice to hear that you are enjoying being back on the road, even with it being so cold. Although I live here in Oz, the places you are visiting are where we explore when in UK, as K comes from West Yorkshire & we stay with family & also visit friends in Lancashire & Lakes District. My Dad's side of the family are also from those northern counties too. Political songs would do well here too, as we've similar dislike with governments on many issues at this time. Hope all goes well, & enjoy your free moments. Take care & huggles.

      I was hoping to go and see your Bartered Books Shop in Alnwick Kezzie, but we're going to have to leave it for another visit - the weather's too unpredictable.

    That is so nice, dear Fil, that you are back on the road, like you said - after so much illness this year. And your political songs seem to be great, having a nice response! No one is glad about politicians these days, you are right. Lake District seems to be amazing, I am eager to go there, and Chester with a nice winter weather for a lovely Christmas market... I hope I am there soon! Hope you have a lovely weekend, dear friend, hugs!
