Good Morning Thursday

Mishap my GD starts school in September and when I accompanied her to a Teddy Bears picnic (at her soon to be school) we met a lovely little girl who will be her Buddy for the first year. I think it is a brilliant idea .

Thank you PRINTMISS for your interesting story. I have always been fascinated by the printing process and over the years I have collected a number of printers blocks and printers trays to display them. I am now going to take a look at the website.

Thanks for info.So it's abit like Cobham in Surrey then.

Hope I am not too late to answer you soop. Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre is situated in the old Calk Pits of Pepper & Son, and nestles at the foot of the South Downs.We started volunteering in the print shop just after my husband had a heart attack in 1994 - we were sought out by the gentleman who then ran the print shop because we had acquired a small collection of wooden engravings from the mid 1850's and he asked to use them, and since my husband is a printer of the old style, he helped out. It was therapeutic, and a beautiful part of the country, so we just stayed on. Lots more to the story but if you want to find out more about the Museum, (and not our lives!)then you can log on to www.amberleymuseum.co.uk.

I had become aware of him through work but that is not a story for GN.

Thank goodness Coghlan is out of Stockport and over the Cheshire border now. He doesn't half create a lot of paperwork!!!

I have only just twigged that Anno but there was at least some continuity on the Cheshire thread. I got up too early this morning! Yawn!

Not only does the champagne triangle have soap stars and footballers but alleged gangsters. As well as very clever lawyers.

Lovely sunny day here. Will be walking down the lane to nextdoor church for a friend's funeral in half an hour. Thank goodness it is not raining. Not looking forward to it. Cannot go to the wake in village hall as need to look after wee GS with chickenpox while his older brother goes to the school he will attend in Sept to meet his "Buddie" - what an excellent system that is for helping children settle in.

The 'old money' is reputed to be around Knutsford. The Champagne Triangle is 'nouveau riche' - so it is said. Actually Cristiano Ronaldo lived in Poynton with - wait for it - his mother. I think things may have changed for him nowadays!

It's the area around Wilmslow, Alderly Edge and Prestbury where there are more millionaires and Rolls Royces than anywhere except London. There are a lot of highly-paid TV celebs and footballers (Manchester United and City), whose WAGS enjoy the champagne lifestyle.

What is this champagne triangle please?

I see it's still Thursday - no wonder I feel confused.

I have lived here for 26yrs come August. I came here via Leicester 3?4yrs. Northamptonshire, 4yrs. Bristol, 10yrs, odd other places for about 8yrs Ilford. 12yrs.

I have ancestors in the Chester area proven from the early 1700s until about 1840 when they caught the train to Liverpool. I have lived here for longer than anywhere else.

Hi Sewsilver. Good to see you on here. I hope you are ok

My Cheshire route was Cheadle Hulme, 10 yrs, Bramhall 10 yrs, Tytherington 2 weeks!, Timperley 4 months, then Wilmslow 21 yrs.
I'm really a Manchester girl, born in Levenshulme!

It was once Cheshire Sewsilver you are in! Take care of yourself.

Nellie yes, you're right. The boundary has moved up and down over the years. I'm one of those 'lucky' residents who has two post codes - one is Altrincham, Cheshire and the other is Baguley, Manchester. I get some suspicious looks when my address and post code don't match on computers, and I say 'try this postcode, instead.'

I grew up in Bramhall, does that make me nearly part of the Cheshire set? I remember my father's horror at the downgrading of Bramhall! not sure that apostrophe in the right place but have been up most of night with DH and am fuzzy brained.

Lovely morning here in Durham. Speckly thrush has hit the window and is no more. Such a pretty bird too. Packing for hols today.

Good morning all! Other early risers. WhenI'm* Was where you live ever part of Cheshire? When I was working we spent a lot of time people convincing people that Sale & "Stockport Cheshire" was not still us. In the late 1800s the Cheshire border went right up to the river Mersey

If you cant claim that you will just have to move!

I would think anno that was probably a sideways move.Although you are still in Cheshire. Bramhall, like us had to "downgrade".

The Cheshire Set, eh? I think I'm a mile or so adrift to qualify!

Gosh! If I am to be part of the Cheshire set I will have to go and get myself some posh frocks.
I just hope no on minds that my postcode is a Stoke on Trent one.
I am in Cheshire East like Wilmslow is honest!

Sook

Sleep tight
