Over the next few days we will have some visitors in the village from communist China. I have volunteered to take them out on a couple of afternoons so decided that one trip will be Anglezarke, Rivington and back over Belmont. That should give them a taste of our wonderful countryside. I hope to tell them a little of the story of Lever park and the gardens, built by Lord Leverhulme, of Unilever fame. Unilever trades in China so they should understand what I am talking about, I hope.
The second outing will be to Liverpool. Perhaps a look at the two Cathedrals and the Waterfront should interest them.
It might be interesting to ask them what it is that they like about communism and what it has done for them.
