Enjoyed Manchester. Went around the Northern Quarter on the first day, had a booking at the washouse on the night which was something different. Really enjoyed it
New Years eve went around the printworks and a few pubs before a meal at San Carlo. Lovely food as always, then found a bar with free entry where we stayed until 11.30, hotel was around the corner walked back just in time for midnight where we watched the fireworks over Manchester Cathedral (helped being on the 7th floor)
New Years day went around Brum before the Leeds match, very quiet as expected in the city. Had 7 days on the booze so having a few days off it before Sunday where I am off to London for Charlton away. Back to work on Tuesday!
