Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
Easy reach for us by train or bus or car, it's a never ending source of change. When it's finished it'll be great! The station is a good place to arrive with the extensive tram network beautifully melded with the trains. Chetham's Library and School of Music, and the ancient site of Manchester Grammar School are just outside the station, along with The National Football Museum. Selfridge's and some excellent shopping comes next. Along Deansgate Barton Arcade is impressive. and the old and new wing of John Ryland's (see article in Country Life) are both amazing. We were hunting sofas and crossed the Irwell for our day's shopping. Interesting developments all round. On King Street we've been to Pep's restaurant Tast a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This time it was El Gato Negro, good food, good service...... I do love the imagination displayed everywhere in Manchester, here a bobbin chandelier in a shoe shop....
