  • Ge from the Chair ______
    HALTON NEWSLETTER ___________________ July 2021 Widnes Library (Photo courtesy of Chris Lewis (Halton u3a Secretary) Message from the Chair ___________________________________________ When you read this we will have passed Freedom Day and be taking steps back to life BC (Before Covid). In common with many of you Chris and I will be proceeding with caution. Much as we would prefer real freedom, we know from experience in our family that you can get Covid twice and being double vaccinated does not give 100% protection. However humans are social beings and not meant to live in isolation. We have started travelling and it will not surprise you to know that trains were involved. On Thursday, 8th July 2021 we travelled to London and the following day took a nostalgic trip behind a steam engine to Weymouth. Careful planning allowed us to meet family and friends we have not seen for nearly two years over the course of a long weekend. On Saturday, 17th July 2021, we treated ourselves to travelling on a reconstruction of the Blue Pullman, a luxury journey to Cardiff. It was not a steam engine but it still managed to break down for two hours in the middle of nowhere on the return journey. This meant we arrived in Crewe two minutes after the last train left for Warrington. Despite having paid a large amount of money for the day, the attitude of the train management was 'that is your problem'. Luckily for us we had kind friends on the train who had left their car in Crewe. They drove us home before going back to Sandbach.
