Trading Cheadle Hulme for Wrexham (5/25/25)

Bob and I farewelled the sweet dog Jojo and her mom upon her return from California yesterday afternoon. It took Jojo a bit to warm up to us and show her real personality, so we were a bit sad it was such a short housesit.

Because of the weather, we Ubered to the train station for a 4:21 train towards Wrexham, Wales. This will be our 4th country on this visit out of country, and it is the first of our “extra” stops to fill in the shorter Plan B housesit after our Scottish one cancelled.

Our train journey entailed a 30 minute leg to Crewe, England, followed by a 40 minute layover, then a 20 minute trip to Chester (remind me to sing my Chester song for you, Bob loves it), then a 30 minute layover, and finally the 15 minute trip to Wrexham.

We don’t have many photos from the journey, but we did nab a couple.

Bob got us reservations for 3 nights at the cute Lemon Tree Inn, which is just outside the city center and an easy 10 minute walk from the train station.
