Great Britains second city

Group Photo
We managed to hang around just long enough to get a group photograph, believe me when I tell you that the granite steps we were sitting on did absolutely nothing for our bottoms. LOL.

Manchester VT meeting 2008

I used to live here and travel back quite a lot so it is about time I wrote something about this city.

This is only the first step and i will post some information about the Christmas Markets that are held here from mid November until Christmas Eve.
Jesus, it was cold

Be warned

Not all VT meetings are enjoyed in glorious sunshine on some far and distant shore. You are not sat there relaxing, drinking a cold beer and watching the World go by.

As blue as the sky was for most of the day, it was piggin cold in Manchester; the beer had been replaced by coffee and steaming cups of hot chocolate. Did this warm us up? Did it buggery!

Did we enjoy ourselves? O yes!

 Hi Ricky - if it was so cold why where you walking around with an open shirt? I thought you were going to strip down to shirt sleeves to let us know real Yorkshiremen don't feel the cold. Great to see you and pass on my best to Sheila

 Cheers for the photo, Ricky!! Hahahaha... Was it cold? I guess that depends where you're from. I came back to a friggin' blizzard and foot of snow. :(
