Manchester wrap-up

11-14 Oct - oops, forgot to write this up at the time. 

11 Oct: Nic had online meeting, then after early lunch went into Manchester centre on train. The hustle and bustle was quite a shock to the system, esp Piccadilly Gardens. Manchester Art Gallery, Nic settled with cake and book. Charity shops, of course. Retreated to peaceful Gatley and ornamental cat.

12 Oct: Lesley had online meeting, then to Lytham to Matt's new house and new baby Jude, 10 days old.


The house is a-maz-ing, as is the DB6 parked out front. Matt rustled up a vegan meal and we had an absolutely lovely time. Went to front for a brief stroll and got Whelan's chips, all for old time's sake.

13 Oct: Altrincham Market for brunch and a mooch. It was heaving. What cost of living crisis?!


Then to Dunham Massey and round the house for a change - we've done the gardens and deer park before. House excellent. Meanwhile Jules arrived to take over staffing the cat. Got a takeaway from the new local Italian - tasty.

14 Oct: To Hinckley to see David & Sue, who also have a campervan. 


Went to Audrey's flat and selected some keepsakes. My book had cash in it - the last-ish paper fiver and the first-ish plastic fiver, tenner and twenty. This was undoubtedly Tony.

Conwy & KP

 Good, cosy night. Used gas for coffee and microwave for porridge. Spent a few hours in Conwy, parking outside the tiny town centre. Another big tick and worth revisiting. Coffee at marina, ice cream on quay, lunch in van. Easy 90min drive to Gatley. Much chatting, eating, drinking. They had early shift so bed at 9pm. N caught up on Must See Moments from Paris Olympics. L reported a river swim, poetic progress, and a new friend who is in Plymouth Labour - small world.

Gatley & Cheadle

 KP both working 6am-2pm. Leisurely morning for N, doing this blogging and planning tomorrow and Scotland in Sep. Heard the v sad news that Audrey didn't wake up this morning. A peaceful passing. She was the last of that generation in L's family on either side - loss of a much loved aunt and end of an era. An unusual view of the van. KP & N walked to Cheadle, to a park and then a chi-chi coffee shop for cafe kuchen. Quite hot walking. Collapsed on garden sofa for a good read. K has had a 9% pay rise, the first she's ever not fought for. Obviously this new senior journalist role on BBC England page is going well. Pete also v happy with his SJ (producer) role on the One. They are having trouble, the nice kind, deciding what to do with all their weekends together. Mushroom stroganoff and Olympics highlights completed the day.  L reported a sea swim with two others again, despite rain; these poets are hard core. Also read to N a beautiful/sad long poem written that day. The...

Four days more

 26th to 29th September Sunday we went on a modest walk to Tilberthwaite and back, with some rain along the way. At night we finished the fizz that had been a celebration of our wedding anniversary. Monday we set off early for Tarn Hows, despite the rain. We had a mission, to say a prayer for Lesley's uncle Hugh and scatter his ashes in the lake, without being observed by NT staff. We also screwed a third plaque into the back of Our Bench at the lake, to join the ones which remember Lesley's mum Deirdre and sister Mary. Then we drove to Coniston for some retail therapy at the Vintage shop - green clip earrings and a silk hankie - and an early lunch at the fantastic Green Housekeeper cafe, where soup & bread is a meal. Thus fortified we had a walk along the lake side towrads but not as far as Tolver. Tuesday dawned and resolutely remained wet and windy. Lesley's birthday (pic) was spent unapologetically inside, reading, opening presents (which involved more reading) and ...
