The little village we are going to be living in looks so quaint in pictures. My husband has obviously seen the village already, and he said we will all love it. It is in the county of Cheshire East, near Manchester. From what I have read, it is apparently an area where a lot of the “football” players from Manchester United live. Of course, me not really being a soccer, I mean “football” fan, I could walk into a restaurant and sit right beside them and not know who they are. I do have a picture in my head of them all being in the pub, drinking beer, wearing their football jerseys and missing lots of teeth? Not sure why. As I mentioned in a previous post, the village has some American favorites –a Starbucks, Subway, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Domino’s pizza. In addition they have many, many pubs –about 30 to be exact. This town does not look big enough for that, so there literally must be one on each street corner. I don’t think we will be lacking in fish and chips or bangers and mash. Which by the way, are things I don’t eat, not that it should surprise anyone! I have actually attached two pictures of the town –one is an old church (an old church in England, who would have thought??) and the other is the main street in town. Since this is apparently within a 10 minute walk of our house, I think Gerbie and I will set off to explore it quite often while daddy is at work and Bean is in school. They have a library, several little shops, and a couple of grocery stores. Now, if we can just pray for a few days where it doesn’t rain while we have these walks.
