Day Eight

We had no plans for today, but having found out that we could travel into Chester on our Bus Pass, we caught the bus and spent a very enjoyable day. It was another cold day but we didn't mind because it was nice and warm in the shops we went into; and we went in to a number. We also went into the Cathedral, but unfortunately we weren't able to stay long because the Cathedral had been prepared for a graduation ceremony. There had been a ceremony in the morning for students from Liverpool University and the afternoon ceremony was for the students of Chester University.
However, we made our way back to the Main Road by which time we needed a cuppa badly, so we saw a poster advertising teas, coffee and cakes inside the Church we were standing by, and in we went and had a very nice cup of tea and a cake.
We were very tired by now so we caught the next bus back to Wrexham. By this time I think re-action had set in. We had had such excitement hearing we had been in the paper and on page three too!! We had also been on the web site and people had taken such interest in what we were doing we suddenly felt a bit flat. But our spirits soon revived and after an excellent meal, the manager apologised to us for forgetting to give us a bottle of Champagne which was also in the Package deal. No way could Margaret and I drink a bottle of Champagne, so we retired to the lounge and invited the manager and some of her staff to join us, and a good time was had by all.
