M6 GRINDS TO A HALT NOTHING UNUSUAL THERE!

We hosted the church access committee meeting last night which was constructive and reached a consensus with actions already being initiated although compromise is the byword but there are many considerations to be taken into account. I called by St Oswald's to take some measurements and found that the ground clearance works had started which was encouraging after the years of fund raising to finance the project which given the grade 1 listed status was beyond the wildest expectations on cost. There were some aspects of the work which I found a little concerning finding that my own 45 years experience in construction cannot vanish overnight even though I sometimes which it had never happened, oh to have been an artist, an opera singer, a musician - instead a jack of all trades and a finger in a lot of pies.

Anyway with the weather a bit grim this week I didn't want to stray too far and was heading for Congleton and Macclesfield to cover the buses but hearing that the M6 was blocked very near home I stopped at the over bridge which was just a few yards before a broken down lorry in the road work section. Needless to say I took full advantage of the situation and got over an hour of film which is needed as I have neglected the truck lads this past month. Better weather in India we hope, also we have booked Cyprus in July, another good hunting ground for exported UK lorries. Plenty of other trips coming up this year.

Pictures tonight from M6 near home this morning rush hour, glad I wasn't in the jam, better watched from an over bridge. I then went on to Congleton which was a bit dreary bus wise post GHA and Bear Town etc and nothing but hassle , never had so much in such a short space of time. Then on to Macclesfield which felt a tad better, the sun came out, mixed blessing when filming. Tomorrow getting even worse weather but maybe I'll still have a go, I'll need to check all the forecasts on the net and then guess. Qualms this afternoon over the church warden position as it seems more like a placement with the National Trust than a church at times!
