I had a couple of good reasons to go out collecting on Briars Lane, Lathom tonight. We spent an afternoon at Briars Hall celebrating Julie and Colin's 50th Wedding Anniversary with their family and friends. What a lovely occasion.
As well as this I wanted to take some time to remember Annie Cowburn, who died recently. She with husband, Bob and their family farmed just down the road. I spent many hours in her company and found her such a positive and gentle lady, a proper country woman with an infectiously warm, all encompassing smile. There will be many people throughout the area and beyond who will remember both Annie and Bob with great affection.
On practical matters, the collection was a bit of a trudge, scrappy bits of plastic and sweet papers. One small entertaining find was the Michelin man. I didn't know he was still around!
