OK, way to go! as they say.
How about riding on your Dad's crossbar (elf and safety would have a fit) and being able to go out all day on you bike with a bottle of pop and a bag of broken biscuits?

Sorry Jac.
Have been away a couple of days. My Dad didn't have a bike but I can imagine it would have been fun. I was back in the UK in January and February, its hard to envision what the old Altrincham was like, it has changed so much. It seems like that has happened to a lot of places, I didn't recognize Atlantic Street and the area around it, aha the old days.
We used to take the bus to the Bleeding Wolf and then walk along by the Bollin and pick blue bells, it was so beautiful, or that's how I remember it. We also used to ridde our bikes to Castle Mills outdoor swimming Pool, that was a day out for us in the summer.

Hi - what amazing stories! Has anyone come across a Joseph Berry b: 1812 in Tadcaster, Yorkshire who married Sarah Harper b: 23 Jun 1805 in Haughton, Staffordshire, England. They were married on 30 Aug 1834 at Knutsford, Cheshire? I am trying to find out how they came to be married in Knutsford and what their occupations were. Any assistance greatly appreciated - thankyou.
