A short trip up to Cheshire and Flintshire
I had been rung by Norma at Excell, wanting me to come and update their website, one of the four remaining parlour websites, for which I am still responsible, so setting out at 10.45, I got to Crewe and Excell for 11.30. Norma was there as was her delightful receptionist Angie, of whom I had happy memories from the days when she worked herself, Jamie, who had featured on the cover of one of my old guidebooks and a lady I had not come across before, an attractive blonde by the name of Danni. Despite the recession, Excell is still keeping pretty busy and Norma explained how they had got into a rather virtuous, as opposed to vicious, circle of success. Her parlour has always been a clean establishment and Norma has generally found competent and friendly ladies to work as her receptionists, but the problem so many parlours have is how to get top quality ladies. In nearby Manchester, the competition is so fierce, although there are plenty of great ladies, they only seem to be working at a small proportion of the parlours. Crewe however is far enough away from Manchester to get quite a number of those top ladies doing the odd day here to complement two or three in Manchester and it is remarkable how many of the ladies at Excell, also work at Hayley's, long one of the places to go in that city. Danni and Sarah, a lady I had had the pleasure of being entertained by when I last updated their website, both also do days there.

Having taken down all the details and some photos of Danni, I headed off to my next call. When I was down at Erotica in November, I was visited on the stand by Sasha of Chester, a working lady I had not come across before and Mistress Dawn of nearby Buckley, whom I had visted at her previous, somewhat downmarket, premises, but who had had some business from my listing of her in both my East Anglia, the Midlands and Wales and my Corrective guidebooks. She was keen to show me her new premises and I had agreed to get there for one. I was not too late and I rung on the way to suggest if Sasha could come over as well, I would be happy to take down her details, but Sasha could not make it, so I had to suffice with Mistress Dawn.
Now seeing her slaves in a large room within a discreet detached house in a more upmarket corner of the town, she had certainly come up in the world and her website reflected that. After dining on a bacon sandwich, which she surprisingly offered me, I worked out what else I could say about her and it was agreed that I should come back at some later juncture and experience a session with her, and possibly Sasha as well. By now Sasha might have been free and I tried ringing her, but without success, so I set off for one of the longest running establishments in the Chester area, the Bungalow.

I have a bit of a soft spot for this establishment because it is the closest parlour to where my ancestors come from, some years ago, before I started checking out the nation's parlours, I had a chat with a great aunt and it turned out my ancestors on my father's side came from a little hamlet about halfway between Chester and Ellesmere Port. Furthermore I was contacted a few years back by an American female academic by the name of Mikita Brottman, who had come across one of my old guidebooks in a second hand shop in the U.S. and decided to do a piece on them. Featuring prominently in that piece is a photo of the bungalow, the third photo down.

It is located just off a main road very near an important junction and currently they are widening the road and redeveloping the junction, leading to it having its own traffic light from which to exit the property, but it is still pretty downmarket, though as ever the proprietress, who also double as the dominatrix Mistress Zahrina, was her usual amiable self.
From here I now headed back into Wales, where I had hoped to go and see Savannah, who runs an establishment of the same name in the small village of Bagillt, near Flint. She had indicated she would be around, but I had no luck after several phone calls to her mobile, so I popped into Temptations of Flint, the proprietor of which had urged me to go and have a look around and maybe take a photo when passing. One lady was busy and the other was not interested in posing, so having tried Savannah again one more time unsuccessfully, I tried Sasha yet again without success and so I then, after filling up with diesel, at long last back below £1 a litre, headed back to Crewe to enjoy a session with the delightful Danni, who turned out to be both friendly and very open minded.
Duly refreshed, I headed back home and got back soon after 6.30.
