Friday we trawled the centre, including the cathedral. To my mind the experience wasn't enhanced by the Alice in Wonderland displays scattered about the place. What they have to do with a place of worship is anyone's guess.
Similarly, they are trying to tap into a popular theme by building a Lego replica cathedral. For the princely sum of £1 you get to buy a brick to add to the model, which will probably make it as expensive to build as an actual cathedral! All going to a good cause, of course
We had a look around the Town Hall which we found more interesting than the cathedral, then gave the inner shopping areas a good going over. Our favourite place was this wine shop, we could have spent all day - and a small fortune- in here
Today we walked the walls, having paid close attention to the weather forecast. So, with Berghaus in hand and shades left behind we set out, only for the weather to turn out to be very pleasant indeed. I don't mind inclement weather but do mind innacurate forecasts. Still, the good weather was a blessing for this lot as it was race day at the Roodee.
Go for it, ladies!
I'm not interested in horse racing in any way but must admit the scene was perfectly set
We leave Chester tomorrow, expecting sunshine and a strong breeze in our face, which may determine how far we get. Mind you, if tomorrow's forecast is as accurate as today's, the canal could be frozen over!
