Was in man today at the Christie ozzy,

Hopefully it’s for a good news situation, they’re having great success with their clinical trials at the moment. I was on one at the Marsden and it’s been a huge success for my treatment. If the Duchess is there for that, all the best!! ? ? Thinking of you both.

Duke, Stone is my home territory, so I would be interested to know which Hotel that is.

I will be there sometime very soon, my sister has just passed away, so a funeral beckons. I won’t be stopping at a hotel, but if anybody should ask, I could warn against.

Les.

Have to travel to Atherton, Manc, (just off junc. 5 M61) sometime in the next 6 weeks or so. Waiting for Guide Dog Rehoming, they say 6 to 8 weeks, could be longer. I don’t think we will have to stay overnight, but have friends in Denton we have not seen for 5 years and they owe us a b&b! It’s to match up and meet a dog.

Good luck and hopeful about good news for the Duchess, Steve.

I stayed here in Stone once:     https://tinyurl.com/mus9s9y    It sounds familiar, saw the biggest Roach I ever saw in the UK!

Les, you have my sympathy. Last time I went back to SoT for a funeral, it poured down. ‘Boslem’ in the pouring rain, is not a pretty sight. It was the cemetery on the hillside as you come up from The Vale.

Les the crown hotel, say clear.

Sorry for the loss.

Thanks for the good wishes gents, all seems OK atm.

Les, I’ve just out and about, and the area is very nice. One issue, I’ve never seen as many speed cameras in my life. We have two in my whole area.

The hotel is off the high street. It looks nice, but inside its stuck in The 70s, smells and grubby.

There is a few hotels in the area, but I’d go premier Inn, you can’t really go wrong, and even the older ones have them beds in. With are the best beds bar non.

The one I’m currently lying on is an old, and tired, sprung mattress.  :negative:

Not good for a guy with a goosed lower back.

I’ve st got home, I think the road with all the cameras is called Stone road, it seems to run parallel to the M6. It was probably the main road before the M6 was built.

Yes the hotel is really old building, great architecture, it’s currently scafolded out on the fount, so work is being done.

I had a ride around the place last night when board and it’s a very part if the world. This morning I was in Sighford, and the drive there through the country roads was very nice indeed. The sunshine helps alot too.

Ive always said, if we had mid s French weather in the summer, there would never be a reason to leave the uk. Once you get off the Motorways the whole island  is littered with beautiful countryside. But the weather isn’t reliable. So far safer bet is to go mainland euros for two for three weeks. Which is sad.

I’d direct your fambo to the premier Inn, hard to go with them. Though the one in stone, looked an older one. But it will still have the beds. I love PI beds

Our material, memory foam is about due an upgrade, its 15 years old, but still fine so hard to justify replacing but when we do we will be getting one of the Pi Hypnos mattresses.

Probably not from PI but go direct to Hypnos
