What a Cracking Coincidence...Cheesily the Best Yet!

Visiting Val for the first time, I had to negotiate my way through new territory, along the canal and through the Town Park. By the time I arrived, it was getting dark.

Val lives alone, and has several health issues that mean she has had to give up driving, and is now shielding.

Although she has supportive neighbours, occasionally, Val needs a few extra. This time, a local charity had delivered most of the essentials that Val needed, but she was missing her favourite crackers and cheese.

A short ride up to her local Aldi, and the task was done. To see the smile on her face made the long ride there and back worth while.

Whilst having a chat before leaving, I discovered that Val is from my home town...Bootle. We had a long chat about all the places that we knew and shared memories of our life as Bootle Bucks...what a coincidence, and what a lively way to spend an hour or two.
