Hilbre Island Walk

We had a great group of people here this weekend, a family meeting up to celebrate a 50th birthday. They had grown up in Hoylake and were full of interesting stories of Hoylake 40 or so years ago. One had delivered newspapers to Number Fifteen when he was a boy, several of the group had been in this house as youngsters, and between them they remembered much about the various houses and occupants of Stanley Road in those days.

Saturday morning, at low tide, the whole family walked out to Hilbre Island Nature Reserve, armed with packed lunches from Number Fifteen. They returned in time for afternoon tea and birthday cake served in the lounge here, before heading out to dinner in one of the Hoylake restaurants.
