Chalky Nomad Adventurer

Could this count as the beginning of the adventure? On the way to Cardiff to drive our Hymer B624 motorhome home tomorrow. Had to go 1st class as it is so much cheaper for us pensioners... 😇😎

Some thoughts on January...

THANK YOU to those who have helped so far, and the link - should you want to support us - is bit.ly/3Ibp0n5 Already reached 10% of our target, so still a long way to go. Funds raised will support the work of @Masonic_Charity A shorter practice on Sunday, 8 miles.

The Masonic Charitable foundation donates millions each year to NON Masonic causes, as well as supporting our brethren and their families in Freemasonry. Please excuse me for filling this feed with updates of how our training, fund raising and the event is going. Thank you.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT... In just over a month's time, the three of us below will set off to complete the challenge of walking 96 miles in 7 days. More information in the comments #Cheshiremasons #charity

@Tanya12510208 @RoyalFamily Which christian faith are you wanting any of them to defend?

Not our King An Islamic call to prayer was held at Windsor Castle for the first time in its 1,000-year history during an open Iftar event on March 2, 2025, marking a significant moment in the royal residence's history and sparking discussion about the King's role as Defender of the Faith. William is our King defender of the Christian faith.....

For almost two centuries, members of the Royal Family have spent their summers on the Balmoral Estate in Scotland. This tradition began in 1852 when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert acquired Balmoral Castle. 📷 Take a look at some photos throughout the years of Members of The Royal Family at Balmoral.

A proud moment for my own (and 'mother') lodge, where senior Freemason, Andy Bailey, presented our 'Master' with the maul in recognition of charitable fund raising efforts made by the lodge over the past three years.

Last Thursday (14th), I was privileged to witness a very unusual meeting. The gentleman in the middle, Doug Coombes, reached 100. After this photo, his family were invited into the lodge to witness the accolades delivered to him. Congratulations, although he isn't on X!

@CheshirePGL @PgmCheshire @DepPGMCheshire @DepGSCheshire @ChrisAPGM @UGLE_GrandLodge Looking forward to it already...

Starting early last month, and for the year till October 2025, I've been fortunate to be given an "Acting" role within @CheshirePGL. Photos were taken and misplaced by me at the first event. The second, however was last Saturday at Birkenhead Masonic Hall for Clive Dunn's 50th

Fed, watered & energised, with lots of recognition before the main event.

Love this from the Master under-stater...

@CheshirePGL @DepPGMCheshire @UGLE_GrandLodge @NantwichShow @PgmCheshire @ChrisAPGM It was a wonderful day, if a bit hot - especially for us Scots of course - however there were plenty of fascinating conversations and interesting questions.

@UGLE_GrandLodge How about the more unusual aspects of Freemasonry? Two examples I'm aware of are the European Masonic Association and the Masonic Motorcycle Club International. Neither are lodges, but are excellent examples of the worldwide nature of our fraternity.

Sunday saw @Alison_R_W and I enjoy the company of around 40 others at a BBQ hosted by Liz & Mike O'Brien, with over £600 being raised for Breast Cancer Research & Macmillans Cancer Charities. Good company, good food, good wine (& other drinks) with a lovely, not too hot, day.

Loving this from two giants of Hollywood, acknowledging the skills of the Egyptian King...

@CheshirePGL @PgmCheshire @DepPGMCheshire @DepGSCheshire @ChrisAPGM @UGLE_GrandLodge Thoroughly enjoyed working with so many helpful brothers on both days and looking forward to next year's event already, although the @NantiwchShow comes first of course.
