Yesterday we had a nice leisurely morning and we had a lovely lunch with Jean and Bob before setting off for Manchester. Jean and Bob have been wonderful hosts and we can't thank them enough for the last 4 days it has been wonderful. We hit the road after 2pm and it was a quick and easy drive. We got to Lisa's no problem and are introduced to the charismatic Ben, the Labrador.
Ben is a great dog and it is great to play with a big dog again. He seems to like us and keeps bringing us toys to throw for him. Makes me really miss the dogs, 5 days to go.
We headed to Celia's for a wonderful roast dinner and of course to finally meet my cousin. We had a wonderful evening, Jack was also there who is a great kid. Lisa took me to see where my parents used to live which is not far away.
Back to Lisa's after dinner and a bit more of a play with Ben before bed.
Today will be a lazy day, Noel and I went into Manchester to the Roman Fort after lunch at the Ox Pub. We then headed into the Arndale shopping centre which makes the one at home look tiny in comparison.
We headed back to Lisa's, stopped at Tesco's on the way to get some vacum bags and then sorted out the suitcases which are very full.
We will head to the pub tonight down the road to watch the big soccer final between Manchester and Barcelona which should be good, let's hope Manchester win or it will be a very sad town to be in.
We have to be up early tomorrow to take the car back and catch our flight to Singapore, the first leg of the journey home back to the boys.
