Christmas brings a special warmth that lls the air, and as I work on this edition, I can feel that festive spirit growing with each word.We’ve been busy crafting content to capture the holiday essence—writing about delicious Christmas dinners, creating eye-catching ads for clients who stock beautiful Christmas trees, and adding heartfelt thank-yous to their advertisements to express appreciation for all their clients. It’s hard not to get swept up in the holiday spirit amidst all these festive preparations!With this cheerful mood in mind, I thought it would be tting to open this month’s edition with a classic Christmas poem that truly captures the nostalgia and warmth of the season. "Christmas Past" by Carice Williams is a beautiful piece that transports us to simpler times, evoking cherished memories of Christmases long gone. It's a gentle reminder of the joy that comes from family traditions, the scent of holiday treats baking in the oven, and the thrill of hiding presents for loved ones. So, take a moment, grab a cozy cup of tea, and enjoy these lovely words: For tickets and the latest information on Days Out & Meals Out Christmas 2024 scan the QR Code or visit my website daysoutandmealsout.com "Each Christmas I rememberthe ones of long ago;I see our mantelpiece adornedwith stockings in a row.Each Christmas nds me dreamingof days that used to be,When we hid presents here and there,for all the family.Each Christmas I rememberthe fragrance in the air,Of roasting turkey and mince piesand cookies everywhere.Each Christmas nds me longingfor Christmases now past,And I am back in childhoodas long as memories last."Merry Christmas to all our readers and clients. Wishing you a joyful season lled with love, warmth, and nostalgia.

8Noisy, busy, important… and much missed. Full of comings and goings for very nearly a hundred years, this particular piece of Middlewich landscape is well connected. Or, was. It’s on the corner of King Street and Holmes Chapel Road. How is it signicant? 1 July 1868 was momentous. Opened to the public was… our local railway station! Middlewich was now a passenger stop - on the Northwich and Sandbach Middlewich’s HeritageHistory article byJulie Elizabeth SmalleyJunction stretch - of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). However it had operated solely for goods trac since the previous November. Prior to this useful amenity, nearest access to the expanding railway network was two and a half miles west, at Winsford. Not limited to just train line and station either, this buzzing hive of activity had a siding and goods yard. Stationmaster in 1874, quite possibly rst to hold the title, was Frederic Leach. By 1892 Peter Warren had taken over. By the Great War the post was held by George Machin. Right inside Railway Station Yard coal dealers conducted dusty but essential business. In 1874 Edwin Foden was one whilst the rm of Peter Carter & Son were Buxton Lime Merchants. Apparently the noise of limestone gravel emptying into goods wagons reverberated throughout the whole town! Middlewich’s transport system was booming. Also available was a carrier by road wagon which travelled each day to Sandbach. Canal companies were already delivering by water “to all parts of the Kingdom daily”. So, was the railway a great and game-changing thing here? Well, it seems not according to antiquarian writer George Ormerod. In 1882 he observed ‘But although a line of railway now passes by Middlewich, it seems to have done little to increase the trade or population during the last half century; and the town is clean and pleasant beyond comparison with many others.’ By 1914 a Halt at Cledford Bridge had been added to service southern and eastern reaches of Middlewich. All change, however, in 1923. This historic line became part of the huge London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) only to be transferred itself, in 1948, to the nationalised British Rail. As late as 1939 coal merchants still traded in Railway Station Yard, namely Percy Dean, Harry White, Charles Williams, and a capable-sounding Mrs W. Burgess. Today all is replaced with residential Regency Walk and Tudor Close.A station on ruler-straight routes… now there’s a curious parallel. Eighteen hundred years earlier lay King Street’s Roman camp and army roads. Both pioneering, both temporary. Just a train of thought!

I hope they bring others as much joy as they’ve brought me.Walks... Exploring our National Treasures By Hilary Mines, Founder, Charity walking App TrundlMembership is also a wonderful excuse to explore places you might otherwise overlook. So, I’d like to suggest a few favourites to inspire your next adventure, including some gems right on your doorstep.Starting in Cheshire, there’s an abundance of options: roam the expansive parklands of Lyme Park or Tatton Park. If you haven’t been to Dunham Massey, you’re missing a treat - it even connects to the canal for extended walks. Quarry Bank Mill has lovely surrounding paths, and The Edge at Alderley Edge oers amazing views. Little Moreton Hall’s quirky Tudor manor is a must-see, while Hare Hill near Prestbury, with its lovely walled garden, is another little gem (please check winter opening times).Recently, I visited Shugborough Estate in Staordshire, with its grand Georgian house and parklands. It’s well worth a trip. And lastly, a favourite of mine: Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden in Ripon, Yorkshire. Free for English Heritage members too, I rst visited as a young woman and fell in love with it. If you are lucky enough to visit on a clear, winter day the reections on the water and the magnicence of the abbey will be well worth the visit.Wherever the festive season takes you, have a very Merry Christmas and happy trundling!

20If you stroll down to 50 Wheelock Street, you’ll notice a friendly new face at JP Goldman Solicitors: Whitney, the rm’s dedicated new receptionist, who is now a permanent xture in the oce. JP Goldman, a rm specialising in property law, has solidied its place in the heart of Middlewich with new signage outside their premises.JP Goldman’s journey in Middlewich began three years ago. What started as a rented desk in the former Business Hub has blossomed into a thriving legal practice that now occupies the entire building. This growth, explains director Daniel Hewitt, wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Middlewich’s local community and business network. Daniel speaks highly of the local professionals with whom JP Goldman frequently collaborates and extends special thanks to Go Local magazine, which has been instrumental in helping the rm establish its brand in the area. He’s also pleased with his neighbour on Wheelock Street, Sweets & Treats, where he often stocks up on something special to take home for his family and he enjoys the community events like the recent Christmas light switch on.As JP Goldman’s presence has expanded, so has its team. They’ve been dedicated to hiring locally, bringing on Whitney with her extensive customer Katy’s catch up... JP GoldmanByKaty O’Reganservice background, as well as Craig, an experienced Conveyancer, and his assistant, Claire. The growth doesn’t stop here; Daniel has plans to continue building the team in the coming months, adding services like Wills and Trusts, which align well with conveyancing and will further enhance the rm’s capacity to serve Middlewich residents.Having a familiar face like Whitney at reception is central to JP Goldman’s ethos. The team aims to make the sometimes stressful process of buying or selling property as accessible and straightforward as possible. Face-to-face interactions are invaluable to their service approach, particularly during the often-complex conveyancing period. But in addition to their welcoming in-oce experience, JP Goldman has adapted to the digital age with an app designed to make the process even easier. The app allows clients to stay updated, upload important documents, and track progress right from their phones, providing convenience for clients who can manage their property transactions from anywhere.For many, purchasing a property may be one of the only times they’ll work closely with a solicitor. This reality isn’t lost on Daniel and his team, who are committed to guiding clients through what can be a daunting legal maze. Their role as solicitors extends beyond merely handling paperwork; they work with sellers to ensure all necessary facts are accurately represented and all legal requirements are met to make the sale ocial. On the buyer’s side, they operate under the principle of “caveat emptor,” or “let the buyer beware,” which places the responsibility on buyers to thoroughly investigate a property before purchasing. It’s the solicitor’s job to assist buyers in asking the right questions and uncovering crucial details that might otherwise go unnoticed.Though property law can seem complex, JP Goldman’s team of knowledgeable professionals is equipped to handle each aspect with expertise and transparency. From building trusted partnerships to hiring local talent and embracing technology, they continue to prioritise the needs of their clients and the community. I remember meeting Daniel when they rst arrived in Middlewich, and we have since gone on to use them for our own house purchase. Having proudly helped the people of South Manchester with their conveyancing, JP Goldman are excited to do the same in Cheshire.

24Christmas is a time for families but at Evolve Family Law we are conscious that some grandparents won’t be able to see their grandchildren over the Christmas holidays. Grandparents may have been completely excluded from their grandchildren’s lives or only be allowed occasional eeting visits.There are many reasons why a grandparent is not able to spend time with their grandchildren but two common ones are divorce or a son or daughter deciding to go no-contact or low-contact with their parents leaving you unable to see your grandchildren. No contact can be at the request of your child’s partner or because your child is leading a busy life and doesn’t value either the adult child and parent relationship or the special role a grandparent can play in their child’s life.If you are not seeing your grandchildren as much as you would like then a family law solicitor can talk to you about your rights. At Evolve we try and focus on sorting out a contact solution rather than focussing on your rights. We aim to try and get grandparent contact started without you having to apply to the court for a child arrangement order to spend time with your grandchildren.Applying for grandparent rightsIn England law, there is no legislation giving grandparents automatic rights to see their grandchildren. However, there are court-based solutions if you can’t agree on grandparent contact after negotiations or Let’s talk legal...ByEvolve Family Lawfamily mediation.A grandparent can apply to the family court for permission to apply for a child arrangement order. Most grandparents are given the go-ahead to proceed with their court application. A child arrangement order is the modern name for a contact order.When deciding on whether to grant a grandparent permission to make an application, the court will consider: • Your connection to your grandchildren• The reasons for contact• Whether the application might harm your grandchildren’s well-beingOnce you have permission to apply for your child arrangement order the court will list another court hearing to decide if a child arrangement order and contact is in your grandchild’s best interests. At that court hearing the judge will consider a range of factors, such as the child’s wishes, any reasons why the child’s parents are preventing contact from taking place and your views.Family dynamics can be very complicated so you should not worry about private issues being raised in court. Family judges are experienced in working out what parenting and contact arrangements are best for a child and judges understand how family relationships can break down or how families can grow apart. The judge will normally also recognise the importance of children having a meaningful relationship with their grandparents.

28Christmas is a time for memories. As we get older those memories, instead of receding, seem to come closer.From 1959 until 1983 my Christmases were spent at 33 King Street, with excursions for Christmas dinner at Grandma’s house, ‘Bridgemount’, just before the railway bridge, and Christmas Night at ‘Three Willows’ in Mill Lane, then the home of my Uncle Bill and Auntie Winnie, Aunt Evelyn and, until, 1967, Grandma Roberts.I’ve really no amusing tales. Just warm, happy memories of Christmas in a northern town years ago.No 33 was decorated each year by mostly home - or rather school - made concoctions, inspired either by our teachers or that endless source of ideas for such things, Blue Peter.Garlands were strung across the room, from picture rail to ‘big light’. Making these garlands, from multi-coloured gummed paper strips was something of a cottage MiddlewichmemoriesByDave Robertsindustry at Wimboldsley School in the weeks before Christmas.One year there was a fad for tinsel-wrapped wire coat hangers, also hung from the curtain rail, decorated with any baubles deemed not good enough to go on the tree, tiny ‘presents’ made from silver paper, crepe paper and ribbon, and egg shells painted in gaudy zigzag patterns.Grandma Hodgkinson was waiting for us at the end of King Street in her old-fashioned front room, which was only ever used at Christmas and other special occasions. This room was always exactly as it had been when the house was built in 1939.Harry Shore, my mother’s cousin from next door, joined us for dinner. His entire house, which had been built at the same time as Grandma’s, was a 1930s timewarp, unaltered since it was built.Then to St Michael and All Angels for the Christmas Night service and on to Three Willows to be with our Aunties and Uncles and Grandma Roberts.Grandma Roberts looked like a Victorian lady. Which is exactly what she was. She was always keen to hear how we were all getting on at school and, more importantly, how our piano lessons were coming along.My sister and I would treat everyone to stumbling, error-ridden versions of carols on the piano. We weren’t that good, but it gladdened Grandma’s heart, and that’s what Christmas is about, after all!

32A free, space age park in the centre of Manchester with a slide that goes over the river, a place to get a coee and toilets!!Mayeld Park - Manchester, is just minutes from Piccalilly Station in Manchester. It is a pleasant suprise in the urban city to nd this 6.5 acre green park with trees, shrubs & the most amazing children’s playground. With 6 slides, with one sliding you right over the River Medlock . You’ll also nd great facilities including toilets, baby changing, somewhere to get a hot drink, ice cream & snacks.What a nd! - After venturing into Manchester on the train to visit one of Manchesters brand new Museums and a few shops we headed back to near the station to visit Freight Island and found this amazing park just next door in Mayeld Park. It looked almost space-age with the tall Days Out & Meals Out reviewsJenny,Days Out and Meals Out Reviewsmetal towers with spiralling slides and bridges that glinted in the sunlight. Built in 2022, it was the city’s rst park in 100 years, and it has even won a Green Flag Award. It was developed from derelict land and now a safe and fun place to visit for children and their families. The park is landscaped to beautifully incorporate the River Medlock, which meanders through the park and creates a really welcome water feature. There is a lawn space that is used for events, a quiet contemplation zone, a wildscape for biodiversity, and multiple routes of walkways.The best slide has to be the one that goes right over the river. If you are brave enough to travel over the slatted bridge to the top of the slide, you have denitely earned the awesome slide that’s waiting for you. What else is in the park - Sunken trampolines, balance beams, small slides, big slides, swings,and a roundabout. Food & Drink - Cosmic Vine Cafe- this wooden hut sells hot and cold drinks, little cakes & crisps. Next to the cafe was an ice cream van too which actually sells Vegan Ice Cream too which is a rare nd. Plus just next door is the amazing Freight Island which has the most incredible street food stalls. Facilities - With clean toilets including an accessible toilet, baby changing facilities and a water station means its easy to spend a couple of hours here if playing with friends and a mum friend to chat with. Plus, its really safe with a security team which are there to assist you if in need any help and cctv puts your mind at ease. It is also a smoke free park.Twilight Trail - which is Mayeld’s Park Christmas Light Trail, running 14th Nov -31st Dec, the park closes at 4pm Thursday - Sunday.• Open every day, Dawn til Dusk & Free• 5 mins walk from Piccalilly Station• Dogs not allowed in playground, but are allowed in the rest of the park.• Scooter friendly• Toilets & Baby changing • Water station.

36You might have seen Advanced Rooine Cheshire’s vans around town and heard the buzz of happy clients they’ve left in their wake. This family-run business, led by Adam and his wife Laura, has been a friendly face in our magazine for several months. Intrigued by their stellar reputation and the warm feedback we’ve received, I took the opportunity to meet them and learn more about their remarkable services and a few products they’re especially proud of.Adam, the driving force behind the business, is no stranger to hard work. Originally from the outskirts of Belfast, he joined the military at 19, following a family tradition. But even before his service, Adam’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident. He learned joinery as an apprentice and found ways to earn money creatively, like buying and breaking down old pallets to sell kindling. At just 14, he would start his day at 2 a.m., delivering milk on a school milk round. His mother saw his dedication early on, a trait that continues to fuel his work ethic today.Adam and Laura, married for 11 years, settled in Cheshire, where Laura grew up. While Adam oversees the hands-on work, Laura is the organizational genius behind the scenes. Together, they form a powerful duo, each bringing their unique strengths to Advanced Rooine Cheshire, making it the trusted and successful business it is today. The company oers a comprehensive range of services to protect and enhance the exterior of any home. They handle everything from minor roof repairs to complete roof replacements, ensuring each job is done with care and expertise. They’re also skilled in transforming conservatory roofs into rooms that are Katy meets... Advanced Rooine CheshireByKaty O’Regancomfortable all year round—a thoughtful way to make the most of a home’s space. In addition to roong, they replace sots and fascias, essential elements that protect the structure from weather damage and enhance the home’s curb appeal. Their high-quality installations ensure a rooine that’s as durable as it is attractive.One standout product they provide is their seamless guttering system, which has been a hit with clients. Unlike traditional gutters, which have joints prone to leaks, these are crafted in continuous sections, cut on-site to ensure a perfect t. They come in various colours to match any home, and come with a lifetime guarantee, they’re a smart, long-term investment. Adam and Laura are especially proud of this product, which has quickly gained popularity for its practicality and durability.The range of services doesn’t stop there. Advanced Rooine Cheshire also oers composite doors that add style and security to any entrance, as well as energy-ecient windows designed to reduce heating costs. And for those tired of battling rusty garage doors, their roller shutter options oer a sleek, space-saving solution that provides solid protection and peace of mind.Finally, for homeowners looking to enhance their curb appeal, Advanced Rooine oers a selection of driveway materials, from the elegance of Indian and York stone to the durability of resin and tarmac. Each material brings a unique aesthetic, allowing clients to customize their home’s entrance according to their taste and budget.At the heart of Advanced Rooine Cheshire is a dedicated team trained to meet Adam’s high standards. Their process is simple and customer-focused, starting with a free inspection and no-obligation quote. Laura ensures that each project runs seamlessly, coordinating schedules, materials, and keeping clients updated along the way. Once completed, every project undergoes a thorough inspection, backed by a 15-year workmanship guarantee for added peace of mind. With their dedication to quality and client satisfaction, Adam and Laura continue to make Advanced Rooine Cheshire a trusted name across the region, bringing warmth, expertise, and a family touch to every home they serve.

Enjoy a pleasant stroll around Shakerley Mere, between Holmes Chapel and Knutsford, with woodland to explore and nature at its best. Pack a picnic to have on one of the many picnic tables beneath the birch and oak trees or at weekends you can get a hot drink and cake from the coee van.The reserve is roughly triangular in shape and the path is nice and at with a good surface so great for pushchairs and scooters. It is a 1.4 kilometre walk around which is an easy one for all ages and takes no more than half an hour.The pretty woodland around the lake’s edge provides a welcome home to a variety of wildlife including birds and plants, dragonies, damselies and butteries. You will always spot birds on the water too. With Mallards, ducks and swans.There is one down side to Shakerley Mere, which is how close it is to the M6 Motorway. There is a constant whizz of cars zooming by on the other side of the Days Out & Meals Out reviewsJenny,Days Out and Meals Out Reviewstrees which rather spoils the calm and tranquil setting. But this aside it is a lovely place for a quick stroll to catch with with friends or get some fresh air and exercise. We visited in October and the trees were turning those beautiful autumn colours and we even spotted some fungi growning. • Open every day. Two FREE car parks• Flat, wide paths.
