Hi from me too!

Hi all

Just joined and thought I'd drop by and say "hello".

I live near the old Roman City of Chester in the North West of England.

Looking forward to contributing to this forum here and 'meeting' with the rest of you over time

Kindest regards to you all

Barrie

Welcome dearest,

I'm new here as well but I'm always eager to hear more about another person and perhaps even a link to your work. Best wishes.

Grace, what a generous welcome! You are the best person to have at the door of our place! Thanks!

Barrie,

Like Grave, a huge welcome! I've never been in chester. I'd imagine they have Roman Baths like in the city of Bath, Near Bristol? For sure there's a lot of interesting photpography: stone houses, old roofs, still functioning stores, at least there for as hundred or more years. I'd imagine great churches, now maybe some disused with overgrown graveyards?

Does one have to search out the ruins or are there guides and a brisk business trade for tourists?

Anyway, thanks for joining. I can't match a fine woman greeting you, but, hey, I'm still the guy in the back yard, making the fire for the grill!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

As a major fortress city, the Romans undoubtdedly did have baths in the City (along with all the usual Roman paraphenalia you'd expect from a major conurbation).

These days, the obvious signs of occupation are in the city museum but the city walls are intact to a large degree as is a Roman Amphitheatre which is still being excavated.

Chester is a small city and certainly worth a visit as it has a huge amount of charm (well, I would think that wouldn't I)

Thanks again for the welcome

Barrie
