The long and (wealthy) winding road...


Driving in the suburbs, just past the plush, posh and picturesque village of Prestbury in northern Cheshire on a Sunday morning, homeward bound. 

Prestbury is one of the most sought after and expensive places to live outside of London. As well as old money there is a lot of new money due to multi-millionaire footballers, such as Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, who live here. One local road is even known as "Footballers' Alley".

Thanks to Susie for taking the photo as we drove...

  5. Love the comment about 'Sir Alex'. Man Utd lost yesterday, so that could be him :). Back to your super photograph, Chrissy, great that you still have lots of autumn colours around too.
