A crowded party room
A Party and a Road Trip to Chester, Suffolk and Cheshire - 20th December 2015

A table heaped with party food
Harry roams around
Harry looks up
Isobel gets a go of Bob, the fluffy cat
Fred at Corley Services on the M6
Harry and Isobel get some dirty road food
The forgotten link bridge over the M6
Corley link bridge probably looked modern once
Traffic thunders by on the M6
More M6 action
The almost derelict and forgotten link bridge
The M6 and Corley Services
There's mould and all sorts going on
The link bridge from outside
Fred poses at a window
Fred tries a ride out
Isobel looks over by some non-standard phone boxes
Fred waves as he bounces around
The boys bounce around
The boys just love to mess around in hotel beds
Some sort of making occurs
The boys slurp on slushies
Harry in the Premier Inn restaurant
Fred and Isobel
Corridors like every other Premier Inn
Twisty stairs
The gang heads off to breakfast
Sunrise over Chester
Gabes eats a pastry
The boys run around near the exit
There's a little time to do some more bed bouncing
A crennelated wall
The gang trundles up some wet stairs
Grosvenor Street in Chester
Fred and Isobel wander up Grosvenor Street
Chester timbered building
Some stone gargoyles
Harry and Fred come down the stairs
Up above street level, the boys run around
The upstairs pavement on Grosvenor Street
Fred does some drawing
Grosvenor Street and a pair of K6 phone boxes
A poster of David Dockney in the style of Hitler
Harry points at stuff
A Chester shopping arcade
Hanging around outside the optician's
A Christmas tree made up of huge silver balls
Fred and Harry do some drawing
Reflections in silver baubles
An old woman comes to see the boys drawing
Fred and his book
The top end of Grosvenor Street
Walking on wet flagstones
A giant elf is handing out mysterious glasses
Isobel at a sweet stall in the indoor market
Fred does more drawing as we buy Cheshire cheese
Harry and Fred look at a Lego frieze of Chester
And the walls came tumbling down
Chester indoor market
A thousand buttons
A Chester button stall
More details in the Lego Chester
The Lego version of Grosvenor Street
Fruit and Veg stalls in Chester market
A Christmas Tree display in Chester Cathedral
Massive Victorian radial-fin radiator
An old depiction of Moses
The nave of Chester Catherdral
Fred lights a votive candle
Striking modern stained glass
Dickens' A Christmas Carol in model form
The Three Wise Men
Chester Cathedral's Lego version of itself
Fred and Harry buy some bricks to contribute
The Lego Chester Cathedral
The cathedral organ
The mystery of the free glasses is revealed
Harry tries his glasses on
More Christmas trees in the cloisters
A cool beer-can bauble
The cathedral refectory
Harry adds to his book
Fred and Isobel in the Refectory
Eastgate, and the Eastgate Clock
