Magical March "Me Treat" in Mollington, near Chester

Forgot to tell you all that a friend is arranging a "Metreat" in a wonderful Hotel just outside Chester http://moiramcadam.blogspot.com/

If I knew how to attach a link I would.....will have to see Chris to give me a lesson.....it is such a shame when you are old and lose touch with technology

Amended to read that I have managed to figure out how to attach a link :)

OOPS

I seem to have been neglecting my blog lately, a lot of things have happened since I last posted "a few weeks ago" ;)

At Easter, Paul and I booked a "last minute" weekend at a hotel called Bosworth Hall, near Leicester. I can't say that I was very impressed with the hotel, but we had a lovely weekend, and the weather was very good to us......little did we know that that was our summer!!!!!

A couple of photos, this is the hotel....
