We lived in Hale, Cheshire, until we went to live overseas in 1995. So we were looking forward to visiting on Thursday. We were there to give a talk to Hale U3A but we arrived early and had a wander around the village, marvelling at the changes which had taken place. Even more estate agents, cafes, restaurants, and several places to advise you what to do with your fortune, if you have one.
The last time we were in Bowdon Assembly Rooms, the venue, was for the prize-giving for the local athletics club, of which we were members. This time the room was packed with about 200 U3A members. There were even a couple of old friends in the audience.
My talk was, as always, well-received. Many members approached me afterwards to enthuse about the talk and about the walk itself. I signed and sold 14 copies of "Vic's Big Walk from SW France to NW England" and my fundraising achievement jumped from 200% (reached only two days earlier) to 205%.
The E-book version of "Vic's Big Walk" can be downloaded from any reputable e-book source, such as Amazon, Apple, Kobo, et cetera. All proceeds go direct o Pancreatic Cancer UK.
