Today was a return back to Bolton to see family & friends in order to celebrate a number of birthdays & and early Xmas party.

Before returning to Bolton we took a short detour via the pretty town of Ramsbottom.

After a coffee and cake in Ramsbottom we headed to The Jumbles, a country park in Bradshaw on the outskirts of Bolton.

Coco was in her element and along with the November sunshine it made for an enjoyable hour or so walk skirting around the nearby reservoir.

Sadly it’s our last week with Coco before we drop her off at our friends, Mike & Penny, who will be looking after her whilst we are in Oz & SE Asia. In preparation we had her cut and she’s now sporting the following new look below.

We are staying at Andy’s parents house with James and Marian, where the Christmas decorations are now in full effect.
