Wigan Album

And to you Ray, all the best !

Brilliant Ray, this is what Christmas is all about.
Now time for a Sherry. Merry Christmas.

And the same to you Ray..I just love that painting,it's lovely.x

A very Merry Christmas to you Ray and every one. Go easy on the sherry Garry there’s a few more days to go yet. Keep putting the coal on.

A "Sherry Christmas" to you Veronica, the fires roaring away. X

So beautiful, but where in Wigan is this? could be Scholes but i'm not sure about the mountains in the background,

Phil. They are the Wigan Alps with Ben Wuchie just off to the right.

They look like the Toblerone Mountains in the distance at the top of Scowes.

Garry go easy with the Sherry and fossil fuel. Merry Christmas everyone.

“blub, blub, blubble, blub”

Would that be proper ‘Sherry’, or just fortified wine from Tesco’s ?

“blub, blub, blub”

Very best wishes to you also Ray and to all at WW.
Garry, have watched Michael Portillo's Journey Around Andalusia, I think it's episode 6 around Jerez region and its Sherry production centres, absolutely brilliant, you'll love it..

I watch Michael Portillo a lot and I think I have seen that one on Andalusia Colin. He has a home in Spain
( well he would have being half Spanish!). He has also ‘dropped off in Westhoughton at the White Lion. I doubt he would have had a sherry in there though. He went in with the head of the Local History Group Society and they ‘hid’ behind the door . It was just pretence for the tv cameras.

Yes Colin, the Sherry of Jerez.
Cheers.

Phil, I think it is Scholes but much further up near Top Lock, those are the old slag heaps from the Iron Works in the background topped with snow.
