Holiday post 2 - more changes of plan

The plan today was to drive from Wakefield to the Nantwich area.  I reasoned that after 92 miles on the motorway I would appreciate an ice-cream bought at Snugbury's; it was not to be. To get there the sat-nav took me off the M6 at junction 18 but there was a hold up. I had noticed a sign to Jodrell Bank so I turned round and went there for a pleasant visit.  [I cannot think of that place without the slang meaning - having a Jodrell].

After that I headed towards Congleton as I intended go bellringing in the evening; as was near I decided to check out the place.  It's a pleasant market town.  Then onwards to Nantwich to see the church and museum. No good trying to go on Wednesday as the place will be chock-a-block; it is the annual cheese show.  Why did this not show up on Google when I was planning my visit?

I then headed for my B&B, checked my email and did a review of the previous establishment on Tripadvisor.  I did return to Congleton and had a good ring as well as a jar or two (shandy) afterwards.

Poor Jodrell. It really needs to change its name to wipe the shame.
