A beautiful day in Leigh, a free bus ride along the Eastern Esplanade, a meal in a seafront restaurant as good as any to be found on the continent.
No airport hassle. No tedious security checks.
How lucky are we pensioners who live in this area.
How fortunate are those of us who have had a life without disabling illness or poverty. Now we can enjoy our dotage and reflect our nation is far from perfect but, in the words of the WW1 Bruce Bairnsfather cartoon character, Old Bill, “If you knows of a better ‘ole, you go to it”.
