Had to cancel some tuning this week, today we were in the Ormskirk - Parbold area they have had nothing just a dusting compared to Rosendale, the side streets in Darwen are awkward if going uphill interesting when coming down. Tomorrow it is Great Harwood, Darwen, and Bolton the Bolton ones will be interesting may have to walk up the lane to my last one.

Next week its Southport, St Helens Chorley and Preston areas
The week after its Burnley, Manchester, Wigan and on Friday Lytham St Anne's I not up in Lancaster area till the end of Feb

You have not had much have you?

We had wet snow on Tuesday in Lancaster and with the wind it caused me to get quite wet when I ventured into town. Should have put off the trip until a drier day but the optician had phoned to say my music reading spectacles were ready and I couldn't wait.

That is a very impressive itinerary. If you need to stop for lunch whilst visiting Lytham, especially on a Friday, I can recommend Whelans fish and chips on Clifton Street.

Bad snow, here again, this morning so had to cancel 4 tunings for today. They said last night that it was only down south to get it

So how are the glasses working out

Sorry to hear that the snow is preventing you from reaching your clients. We have had just a few degrees of frost here on the coast.

The specs are helping, not only is the music clearer but they are also enabling me to read forward. The biggest problem with my eyes now is astigmatism which I think is caused by the cornea not being perfectly spherical.

Edit. It has started to snow !
