On Sunday, 2 December, after a hectic Saturday of Christmas shopping for New Zealand family, Marian and I had a nice day out in Chester. Chester is the county town of Cheshire. Situated on the River Dee, on the border with Wales, Chester is one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in the UK. Chester was founded as a Roman fort in AD 79.
