Charlie spends a smashing day in the Cheshire Lanes with his chum Tom Idle.  It must have been a day without rain as rain is never mentioned.  And I do like his description of old churches such as the one at Great Budworth.

Page 2 of Charlie’s main photo album is titled “The Earliest Days with Tom – The Summer of 1923”    In it is written  “We met at Betws-y-Coed on Easter Saturday night, March 31, 1923, concluded our tour together, and a casual acquaintanceship quickly ripened into firm friendship.  The comradeship was perfect, and all sufficient.  Others, equally welcome, sometimes joined us, at times we travelled alone, but alone or in company our regard has never, or never will, diminish”.
