In 1956 the murder of shopkeepers, the Ormesher sisters rocked the small market town of Ormskirk and despite every male over the age of 16 being fingerprinted, the murderer was never found.

Gypsy was performing at Ormskirk clock tower last saturday.
Her voice was captivating, effortless opera. I was never into that sort of thing but have accompanied my better half to a few Andrea Bocelli concerts (imho better than Pavarotti)
I was talking to her, I'd heard her and her husband 'Purple' on Radio Merseyside the other week. She's sold out the Royal Court in the past and is next up on Southport Theatre. And no, i'm not on a commission.

On foot today and enjoyed it - must do it more often as you see so much more.

Very nice pics Ged.
Fresh in from midnight mass.
There's something about Christmas and a medieval church in the snow. A brisk walk up the hill and a church organ blasting out Silent Night and O come all ye faithful.
