It is so true about living in a place and making the most of it. Last year Andrews and Jordsmum came to Manchester for the day and it was good fun being a visitor in your own city and had afternoon tea in the town hall - which I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know they did it until I started looking into it.
I love being a tourist on my home patch!

I'm just echoing what the girls have said and we will look after you and you certainly won't be alone. You're more than welcome to join the Manchester/Liverpool/Durham gang from early on so you can get to know us all before or I'm in Birmingham on the 20th February so could meet up so you know what I look like. It is just a flying visit and I'm on the 16;45 Megabus back to Manchester as I have a lecture to go to that evening.

A bit slow here, rawr_xoxo, just clicked you are from Birmingham. I will be in Birmingham on weekend of 16/17 Feb. Such a shame shall miss you Diane65. I am going to the Basket Ball Arena's Games Maker Reunion that weekend. Love to catch up with you too rawr_xoxo. Perhaps we can have a quick cuppa before I join the Games Makers?

Will be looking to stay in a TL for the friday/saturday somewhere near london then take the train in. Slough looks the best for us, been there before.
Looking forward to saying thanks to the ticket fairies in person.
