Having just come back to this site, I can now tell you I have my Great Grandfather Woods war records and also his will.  I have just returned from a couple of days in Port Sunlight.  A lovely sunny time was had.

We spent a couple of days up there last December.What a wonderful place it is.The architecture of the houses and the museum(and the lunch we had there!) was wonderful. We happened to be there the same day as a funeral was taking place of a young soldier killed in Afghanistan.The turnout of the beautifully dressed soldiers,boys and girls was amazing,very moving and something I'll never forget.
