The boss
of Team VFH, is currently in England visiting her daughter and son-in-law and
their 11 month old child. Work commitments have me here Stateside until
tomorrow when I fly out to Manchester out of Philadelphia.

| THE CROWN HOTEL, NANTWICH |
This is
an over the hills and through the woods excursion across the pond and hearts
and minds will brim with warm thoughts and embraces and another chance to see
the young grandson that has Janet’s heart on a string. I’ll be there for just 6
days, so there’s not much time for exploring. Usually I am loath to return to a
destination because it is such a big world and there is so much to see, but this particular trip to Nantwich, Chesire in the UK is all about family.

| ST. MARY'S CHURCH, NANTWICH |
Nantwch
is about 40 miles south of Liverpool and I was last there for the kid’s wedding
at the Crown Hotel, a 16th century building that leans into High
Street like a drunken sailor. Our visit this time to this charming, quiet town
will no doubt include several trips to “The Gun”, The Rifleman, the favored pub
of our hosts. They’ll be little time for anything else. I understand our NYE
celebration will include a pub crawl and then a gathering at the square before
St. Mary’s Church to hear the New Year chime in as we all link arms to sing a
drunken version of Auld Lang Syne. ….before going back to the pubs.

Sounds
