Halloween is fast approaching and at Chester's Dee Radio, it will be welcomed by a new ghost story every day from 26 to 30 October at 8.45am. I particularly like the ghost dog who barks at customers! @walkingtoursofchester walkingtoursofchester.co.uk @Chester_Ghost @Dee1063
The Silver Plough at Pitton in the beautiful scenery north of Salisbury: warm welcome, great food - the fish was cooked to perfection and the mushy peas were a culinary masterpiece - and a lovely building. @Silverplough The Silver Plough - Pitton.

I ve passed this shop on Bumpers Lane so many times but today I went in - it s a treasure trove of interesting things. But who could resist Husband biscuits? And they re delicious - I ll try the Wife biscuits next time…
Sudley Hall, north Liverpool: a gem of a house facing the estuary and Wales. Why had I never heard of it before? Enthusiastic staff and really good cafe too!

3 ghost stories. Then to Wild, the lovely flower shop next door where the owner and customer both heard ghost dog barking today!
Great evening of music at the Bear and Billet, Chester last night: Captain Andy s new song about AI is destined to become a classic. And talking of classics, a touch of Judy Driscoll and Brian Augur at the end sent a wave of smiles and nostalgia round the room.

Discovered Pierogi, the Polish cafe on Brook St today and not only had a bowl of a favourite soup, Zurek, I also learnt how to pronounce the name properly. And oh, those raspberry, blueberry and cream cheese dumplings!

Last chance to see! The tethering stone found at the centre of the Roman amphitheatre arena tells us that brutal events took place on the site. Centuries later the finds tell a very different story. ‘Chester Amphitheatre: an 8,000 year story’ finishes 4pm Sunday 12 July.
ALT The exhibition gallery showing the tethering stone on display and on the wall behind a mural illustrating the story of the site.
ALT A yellow earthenware jug decorated with dark red vertical lines of slip and small floral motifs. The glaze has spots of green.
ALT Four gaming pieces: a blue and white counter, a rectangular bone domino, a small bone die, and a plain white counter. The counters are made from cut-down sherds of pottery.

The Walls of Chester and Derry/Londonderry:
- Chester s protect those inside from invaders; Derry s protect the invaders from those kept outside
- Chester s built over time; Derry s by the English in the 17th C
