And besides its nice to see where people originate.....

This is where Sarah and I intended to settle down. Nantwich.
Its called Mini Chester by the locals as those who have been to Chester will notice our glut of Tudor buildings etc.....

Forgets....

a 5 minute walk from where I live now is Bentley Motors! fomerly Rolls Royce......our house backs onto a yard (well after the allotments) where the made Bentleys are stored wrapped in plastic rows and rows and rows of em!

10 minutes further from there, still walking is where my Folks live and where I lived for the past 18 years in an area called Coppenhall. Pronounced Cop'nall if your local.

would walk and get a pic but im sure the Bentley website is easily accesible on the net...

Thanks, Nick. Interesting pics. I like trains also. My Boy Scout Troop had an assistant Scout Master who was really into trains and we had, sitting on rails, a real red caboose.
Thanks again,
Tom

What a lovely English town! It is nice to have those surroundings. I especially love the Tudor exteriors and that church is something else!
