Hope everyone had a safe journey home.

Can I second what Steve has said, had a great and very interesting day out in Manchester today, met 2 more fmukers - Andrews and Jordsmum, learned quite a bit about my home town - a big thank you to Diane65 for arranging such a great day out, much appreciated. o/

Now sat on the sofa still feeling stuffed after the afternoon tea in the Town Hall - maybe I ought to join the ww thread too.

Thank you both so much for your kind words and to all of you being such fabulous company. I did eat the most rocket so that counts as being healthy and we did walk around for almost 8 hours but as for the delicious afternoon tea :roll:

I too am sat on the sofa still feeling stuffed. I will get my act together re eating :cross:

A great big thank you to a group of wonderful people: akh43, Diane65, Jordmum, Steve and Yogi. Thank you for your warm welcome yesterday - it was fabuous meeting up with you all. A special mention for our Tour Guide Extra-ordinaire - Diane65, (if she gives up her current job, could easily step into this line of work). I loved every minute of my day with you all. Hopefully we can do it again. :D

How slow am I :oops: Just because Andrews and myself didn't notice the Oscar :nono: (We went to see the Annie Lennox exhibition at The Lowry and just because we were too engrossed with the corset dress and Yogi bear ears (plus nattering) we completely missed the Oscar :oops: )

I would like to add my thanks to Diane65, akh43, andrews, Steve and Yogi for a lovely day out in Manchester yesterday. It was so nice to meet you all, such a friendly welcome. Special thanks go to Diane65 for her hard work in putting together such an interesting tour itinerary... and all with such perfect timing too. Hope we get the chance to do it again. :D
