This is 'Emperor Kawakiri'. As I said in my week one introduction my home county is Cheshire, also known as the County Palatine of Chester.

“What have the Romans ever done for us?” Well I suppose they gave us Chester or as it was known to them Deva Victrix, home of Legio XX Valeria Victrix.

I was born and still live in Mid Cheshire where you can find the “Wiches” which are Cheshire’s salt towns: Northwich, Nantwich, Leftwich and Middlewich. However the town responsible for the salt we use to grit our roads today is from Winsford.

Another feature of Cheshire are the many Meres and also, due to the extraction of salt by brine pumping, the Flashes. The Flashes in Winsford were popular boating, picnicking and sightseeing destinations.

Whereas salt still plays an important part in Cheshire industry another Cheshire industry is mainly remembered in museums, and as the name of a local radio station: Silk. East Cheshire towns were the home to the Cheshire Silk Industry with Macclesfield being well known for silk button manufacturing.

My last dip into Cheshire is linked into the Cheshire plain by way of dairy farming which in turn takes us to that wonder that is Cheshire cheese.

Cheshire cheese is thought to be one of, if not the oldest of, British cheeses. Cheshire cheese is available in three varieties; red, white and blue. Patriotic or what? Of course you can get Cheshire cheese that is not made in Cheshire if ever you would want to. One of my favourite meals as a kid was cheese dip which most people outside of Cheshire would call cheese and onion soup.

To conclude with a grin, my challenge words will all be influenced by Cheshire.
