Somewhere in Illinois 😊

I know the scale of things over there is different to over here

I think Illinois itself is about 3/4 the size of Great Britain

Last time I was in NY the folks hadn’t heard of Manchester 🤷‍♂️

It shocking out here too.

I have wheelie bins and small children flying past my kitchen window

The girls are not for moving

Hurricane Hilda has a lot to answer for

You better not cry…”

Finally got in the loft

You can see from the shots how few people there are around me

These are near the end when it was really hard

Note the football trainers not running shoes 🙈

And the minimalist medal 🤩

There’s a railway tunnel runs at right angles underneath about 100 yards back

I ran in the first three London Marathons

I wanted to beat 4 hours

I went close each time

Then in 2000

I did it!

Our little town has its own station

Volunteers run it

The steam engines draw crowds of enthusiasts but do run everyday along a 15 miles track

It’s pretty much the focal point of where we live 😊🚂

I was a freelancer 1988-2024

The worst late payment I had was 100 days

At which point I told the agency that as I was from Salford I’d send the boys round

They laughed

Next day my wife turned up in reception with these two

After they had pulled a pot plant onto a cream carpet we got the cheque

My son and his good lady have flown to Valencia for a wedding tomorrow

He reckons this is the smallest TV he’s ever seen hung in a hotel room

😳😊

My girls have been on the front foot the whole match but then the squirrels started with the high balls and the long throws

Cheers Lisa

Home is home isn’t it? 😊

We get the odd nice day like yesterday

😳😊👍

I was born in neighbouring Salford but lived and worked in Manchester all my life

It rains here

A lot

The result is that we can tell when, where and how long for with absolute accuracy

Light rain is ‘spitting’

Heavy rain is ‘battering down’

And everything in between
