Maggie atop the Chester Wall.

Some years ago Maggie and I went back to England to visit my parents and her various relatives. Maggie’s family comes from the area around Chester. In this particular picture Maggie is atop the wall that runs around that old city – we spent the day hiking around and visiting the tourist sites. Chester is an old Roman city on the edge of Wales with much of the Welsh character. I remember we went to this pub in the middle of the town and several drunken gents were singing Eric Clapton’s “Layla” – did it very well and went on to sing something in Welsh after that.
Anyway this is where Chester – the rockhound – got his name.
