When the French, Irish and Scots invade Manchester.

Timah and Kiera touched down in Manchester a few days ago, and since, we've been on the move trying to cover our bases as much as we could. The weather was horrendous, which limited our options of travel on addition of the hesitation to leave the comfort of my nice warm flat . It snowed heavily for the first two days they were here. It was fun at first, but when the frost kicks in and you can hardly feel your toes inside your shoes, thats where is stops being fun !


To be perfectly honest, I havent explored Manchester much either so I dint have a clue where to take them around. There was the usual, Stadiums and shopping centres, but to be fair, Manchester is a bit overrated. There's not that much you can do basically! HAHA :) So, second day, we went to Cheshire Oaks, somewhere between Manchester and Liverpool to explore the high street fashion outlets there. Dint get much shopping done though as we were stuck on the bloody bus for about 2 and a half hours for what was supposed to be a 45 minute trip because of the snow ! See, its not all fun and merry when it snows you know ! grr.


We spent the evenings with Popo and her friend, Johan (pronounced Yo-Han). Both of them were stuck in Manchester after their flight was canceled due to the bad weather! haha Johan dint speak much English so Popo had to be our intermediate. It was really good both ways; Johan got to improve his English and I got to brush up on my rusty French ! They still managed to get a flight in time to celebrate Christmas in Lyon and Johan enjoyed our company so much, that we were all invited to spend next summer in Lyon !


So, that was just a quickie! Gotta go to bed now. Going 'target shopping' tomorrow. Eyeing stuff to get on Boxing day ! Need to get energized ! :)
Toodles ! xx
