Where Jack met Patty......

A friend & I went out for lunch today to The Cartford Inn.
It turned into a long afternoon...I was shocked to see the time was 16.31pm when we came out to the car ....we got there at 1pm!
Very enjoyable it was too!

Three good things:
1. Conversation.
2. Plans for a day out in Liverpool.
3. Help from a neighbour with an office task on my computer........I know nothing about office stuff & files etc!

Jack was a legend in Little Eccleston....a man of rhyme & song....he sadly died a couple of years ago. The Cartford was his local where he spent much time with his wife Patty.
Fame indeed when you have your name on the wall in your local!

This looks like the perfect place to spend a five hour lunch. It looks so warm and inviting. Sounds like you had a lovely day!

Nothing better than a nice conversation with a friend...

Nice aspect - and a lovely aide-memoire of that time you went to lunch and stayed all afternoon.

I recognise this place and its nice to see it again - bings back a happy memory! We had a local man of rhyme too and sadly he died a year ago - not that old either! But we still revisit his poems.

Nice shot!

[Hazel]

I like your title and the shot is unusual, a different composition and viewpoint - interesting - and I think Jack would have liked this post.

[Andrea]

[Joyce]

Lovely shot and story Pat. Guess it must have been a good lunch!

[Dianne]

This image is very nice and really shows how lovely it is. No wonder the afternoon got away on you!

[Babs]

Lovely shot and I wonder if Jack and Patty are still together.
Just reading what you have written here and you think my life is hectic!

[Jane Pittenger]

Like how my eye travels deep into the shot with the great framing and leading line

[Karin Hirsch]

Love this shot it tells a story and is well composed

[Jen Hudson]

Great shot to show the venue. Looks welcoming. You were obviously having a good time!

What a great memorial! One day when I get time I'm doing a day out in Liverpool. My great great grandad was a sailor out of there another was a merchant sailor and my great grandad was a police and fireman and the museums look really good.
