As today was Remembrance Sunday we joined Andy’s parents at their local church, St Andrews for the Sunday service. The visit brought back many memories from his childhood and it was enjoyable to see and hear all the good works that the church is doing in the local area.

Then off to Royton, nr Oldham to meet Michelle’s sister Deborah and her husband Andy for lunch along with our niece Lois, her boyfriend Thomas and their two children Eloise and Freddy. Had a great time at the Halfway House, a pub we last went to with Michelle’s dad Neil over 10yrs ago. Lots of funny stories ensued about Neil and his love of Banoffee pie!

The later part of the day was spent watching the epic Chelsea v Man City 4:4 all draw. Fab viewing for the neutral, particularly ones who support Oldham Athletic & Bolton Wanderers like Andy and I!

We headed back for one final meal with my parents and I popped round to see my youngest bro Ian who conveniently lives two doors from my parents.

Tomorrow we head north to The Lakes for a 2 night stay at Lake Windermere.
