Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
A Visit to the "Transitions in Print' exhibition at John Rylands...and Snooker in Bolton...11/14/2022 We went to the 'Transitions In Print' exhibition at John Rylands. In fact we had a guided tour by one of the chief curators who certainly knew her stuff and conveyed in an extremely interesting way how new cutting-edge technology was helping staff, scientists and academics re-interpret how and why the Gutenberg printing revolution occurred. This is all the more pertinent as the Rylands has one of the world’s greatest collections of 15th-century European printing. Truly fascinating. After the usual good lunch at Cicchetti in House of Fraser we enjoyed the start of the Christmas lights transformation and drove off to Bolton Stadium. Here we saw a wonderful snooker match in the Champion of Champions between Judd Trump and Mark Selby. You really got a feeling that you were watching people play snooker in your own front room such was the immediacy of the view. Interesting to watch all the behind the scenes stuff too including the various cameramen, interviews etc etc. A top-notch experience.
