I have now been in touch with the nice people in Chester and that part is as good as it's going to get. I should have booked one more day but it's OK. Louise and I are going to try to go to Blossoms Hotel for supper. This is where (I may have mentioned this elsewhere but it bears repeating) Mom and Dad and company had their wedding supper.
Watch this space for photos and updates. I may also be putting photos on Facebook for those of you who are followers.
And now here is the itinerary as I know it!
