Booming Manchester

Manchester is descibed by no less than the Lonely Planet as the "uncrowned capital of the north". It certainly is a curious blend of the old and the new, with beautiful Victorian buildings next to steel and glass skyscrapers. We went to see some live theatre at the Royal Exchange which was a great experience although the play was a bit too intellectual for me...Lorraine was able to explain it to me later. We both loved Manchester and the best part is that it's only an hour away. To me it will always be best known as the home of the greatest football team in the world. Sorry no photos this time :--(
