Hanky Panky Pancakes

Over on Commonhall Street Hanky Panky Pancakes seems very popular. They have a definite seaside and light-hearted theme going on, which makes you feel a million miles away on a cold, wet February day. I guess they will do well on Shrove Tuesday.

Hurricane Doris - the clear up

It was good to watch the clear up after Hurricane Doris. Everyone pulled together to shop off the top branches to allow cars to get in and out, then the council turned up with chainsaws and tractors. Once they got going it took about an hour and a half to clear everything away, and several local families took away the wood for their woodburning stoves. The van, which had its' windscreen smashed and bonnet caved in, was towed away the next morning.

Hurricane Doris

Hurricane Doris hit today, and three trees came down in Shavington Avenue, one after the other . If you look closely in the first photo you can see the second tree beginning to fall. The red car that has just pulled into the doctors surgery was very narrowly missed by the first tree, and the van appears to have suffered only scratches and a damaged wing mirror. Lucky escapes all round.

Chester U3A

Chester has a vibrant University of the 3rd Age, with nearly one hundred different study groups, and with monthly lectures on a wide variety of subjects - this month I attended a talk on the life of Charles Darwin, another on protecting wildlife, and a Tai Chi session. As a way of keeping your brain ticking over it is to be highly recommended.

2 for 1 Pizza

Not sure that I want to post this, but...down at Artichoke on Mondays they have pizza on a 2-for-1 special offer. They also let dogs into the bar area. Even better, the chocolate tart with pistachio ice cream is very, very, good. Just don't all rush at one (otherwise there won't be any room left for me).
