An idyllic #cycling Sunday. A group of us #FolkRidingBikes rode out through the countryside from Liverpool to Rainford (where I grew up).
After Sunday lunch at the Derby Arms we whiled away the afternoon playing crown green bowls before a ride back home.
Thinking about it, the bowling was an accidental #LocalManufacturing story.
Vinny, one of our group, works at Drakes here in Liverpool - one of three manufacturers in the world of those bowling balls; and the resin used to make them is only made in *one* place in the world, which is in St. Helens.
Both those locations plus the place we were playing lie within an 8 mile radius.
