Any herbs from your garden with that Steve...rosemary..?

Possible you bumped into my late uncle, Les Garside, at some stage - before retiring there, he was a paramedic both during and after the war and, quite a character, liked to take charge of just about every social situation! A lot seemed to know him when we were walking around Bude and Kilk.

One thing I forgot re Manchester, whereas Scousers may (justifiably) boast of 2 great cathedrals, in Manchester we have two pretty good libraries: Central (based on the Pantheon's design, I think) and John Rylands (both among the above pics).
