Visit to Crewe (6201 AGM)

We went up to Crewe on the train (sounds like a song – which I sang of course! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-RpyLmIn3k )
Which reminds me:
My Grandad played an accordion and would sit in his chair for hours playing all the old Music Hall songs. As soon as I saw him take his jacket off, I knew he would be strapping on his accordion and I loved sitting nearby, reading the words and singing along.  His favourite song was Clementine and it was only later in life I found out that his darling name for Nanna was 'Clemmy'.

We managed to find the venue for the 6201 AGM not far from the Station.  It was an interesting occasion with a buffet lunch, a few sales and lots of chat.  After all the details, financial and otherwise, were delivered, a couple of chaps had their say under 'AOB'.  Could have Did turn into a slanging match but everyone calmed down and it ended on a goodish note and earlier than we expected.  We caught the local bus into the town and had a good walk round the shops, managed to buy myself a windmill (pink with diamante) and then went for a meal
……….. no change there then!!!

We arrived back home about 21.00hrs so it was a just long enough day.
We viewed this building from the train – looks fascinating but so far I have been unable to find out what it is ……….
Intriguing.



PJ was ill for a couple of days with exactly what I had, which ended with me in hospital for tests – which I refused as I didn't feel I had anything really wrong with me.  PJ complained of the same symptoms so – especially after speaking with other later on – we assume it was a virus going the rounds……….
And it rained and hailed and rained and thundered – great British Summer has started!!!
