Well, you get on the M1 and go north for a long, long time...

Then go onto the M6 and keep going north past Birmingham ...

Then you get to junction 19 and here we are!

We are hosting a rather large flower show this week and it's a bit busy on the roads...

And a few years ago we had the totally brilliant Martin Bell as our MP after Neil and Christine Hamilton made a hash of the job. Now we've got the Shadow Chancellor.

We are the town on which the programme Cranford is based - not sure if you're into costume dramas - the author Elizabeth Gaskell lived and is buried here.

Full of history and characters from very old families who are all inter married ... bit scary to a newbie but you learn very early on not to say anything about anyone to anyone just in case they are related!

I like Wimbledon Common ... happy memories of picnics with friends

Thanks for this Sarah! Seriously, if coming that way, would love to pop in for a cuppa! Won't come this wkend though

Looks like such a lovely looking town, I LOVE Cranford... I love period dramas (as well as detective dramas!). My fav is Pride and Prejudice. I do enjoy Elizabeth Gaskell very much too!

So do you eat your oranges like they do in Cranford?
