Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
A busy day in Manchester. First to the Trafford Centre where we did well in buying a coffee table, side table and lamp from JLP. Then into the city centre and I couldn't resist taking us to what is becoming my favourite pub The Crown and Kettle, shown here next to my favourite Manchester building - the Daily Express Building which I remember from the Sixties. In fact and astonishingly it dates from 1939. Who would have thought it? It is timelessly modern and up-to-date. We then had tapas (and non-alcoholic beer for me, not bad if you like the taste of lager. I don't), at Pep Guardiola's Tast. Great service. Then to our concert featuring The Piccadilly Sinfonietta. This took place in the lovely Georgian central Manchester church of St Anne's. We sat in the private pew of Michael Ward a Georgian gentleman. The cheap tickets purchased on Groupon were supposed to be restricted view, but our view was fine. The players were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the concert. We will be back.
