2025 Country of Living: England in Nantwich, Cheshire.

We travelled around a bit this year but not as much as in recent years with a lot going on at home. For work, I was in Warsaw in June then Washington, DC in September with a number of other smaller meet-ups in Birmingham (April) and London (December). I once again visited the “Stamp and Coin Fair” in York, North Yorkshire in January but I skipped out on the July version having figured I had seen enough for the year.

• February - Visited Malta for ten days then returned for a few days stay in a remote Yorkshire cabin before returning to work.
• April - Visited London to visit the dentist (and a bit of fun including seeing the revival of Starlight Express in Wembley).
• June - Visited Canada for two weeks to see family in both Ontario and Manitoba.
• August - Had a four day weekend in Carlisle which, unfortunately, had our car written off as a result of an accident (see My Cars).
• September - Mother came to visit for a few weeks so we paid a brief visit to London to see a show.
• October - Visited Scotland for a week with mother, returning to show her Isle of Arran and the north-east section of Scotland from Edinburgh to Inverness, ending up in Glasgow.

Mother came to visit in late September for four weeks.

Most events confined to the north but we have still managed a few in London and the south as well.

There is a small Odeon in nearby Crewe so we still manage to see a few films…

Working our way through the dining options here in Nantwich and the area…

We are thinking of visiting Canada perhaps around Easter then the World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim (California) in August.
