Former librarian. Now Chester Green Badge Tour Guide / Liverpool City Region Blue Badge Tour Guide. Also interested in athletics, cats 🐈 and the Eurovision Song Contest.
Chester is one of the best retail destinations in north west England & I particularly like this "Great British Sewing Bee" display from Abakhan!
Chester's famous Rows could be described as an original shopping mall!
