2011-12-03T16:15:00.001Z

I've lived in many places. But Chester in December takes some beating. Crisp air. Blue skies. Crowded streets. We are lucky, those of us who live here.

Coffee is my vice though ...

At least the Cathedral's Refectory is closed today - Good Friday. Not too many places which care. Just another day to make even more money for most.

I've been waking up so early lately as the sun streams in through my window. It's so good to meet up with the balmy warmth of the sun again. The birdsong completes the circle and makes me think of good memories and times.

Morning at the Station car park

2011-03-21T08:50:00.001Z

Beautiful morning in Chester today. I must be an urban sun-worshipper!

Bit of a chill in the air though.

Been a long day. A long few weekends in fact. Spent most of my time building flatpack furniture. Not long to go before it's finished. Looking forward to reclaiming my weekends, in fact.

Thankfully, the water board and the housing trust have come up trumps. We now have our water supply back due to the hard work of the workmen involved.

Many thanks to all those who've helped to resolve our issues this Christmas week in extremely difficult circumstances. Much appreciated.

Two bottles of water for five people

2010-12-21T14:23:00.001Z

We haven't had any water since early yesterday morning. The water board says it's not their responsibility. After a number of calls, the housing trust is finally sending round a plumber. In the meantime, for all our needs (a family of five) they've given us two 1.5 litre bottles of branded water. My wife thought it was a joke. No one's laughing.

Hoole in the evening

The Hoole shops are beautifully lit up at the moment, though this photo doesn't do them justice. Visit them if you can. Friendly welcomes all round.

Now we're on the way back home.

A long week. Now waiting for our son to arrive back from uni. Good to sit awhile in peace and quiet.

Next week will be quite different I'm sure.
