It was quite a hectic day yesterday. With the children being on their Easter hols my Wife had planned for us all to go to Chester Zoo. This meant us leaving home at about 10.30am and getting back at 6pm. By this time I must admit I was feeling rather tired.
Walking for 6 hours tends to have that affect. The sun had also been out all day and this sapped my energy. As soon as I got home I had to get a quick change of clothes and 'shoot off' to our club night at South Lancs and Cheshire Metal Detecting Club. We had a guest speaker Mark Leah BA (Hons) MIFA, Archaeological Officer (Development Control). I had been waititing to listen to him for some time and he did not disappoint. His talk actively gained all our interest (approx 50 in all). The subject of archaeological excavations in Cheshire had us all on the edge of our seats. Add to that the interesting way he put it across made an excellent evening. We also had the normal competitions for coin/find of the month. This too was very interesting with some lovely finds on display. After the evening came to a closeI went back to one of the members (and close friends) house for a cup of coffee and a chat. We talked about the hobby as a whole and then it was time to come home. It is my turn to look after the children today so needed an early night - if you call 1.30am an early night.
