Scary Manchester

Today, we decided to wander round the centre of Manchester, which I find quite fascinating, and especially like the canals - though the geese can be intimidating, illustrated here by my son-in-law, Tom.

Could add all sorts of extras, but have added the one I like best of the ones Deb took of all of us yesterday at Dunham Massey, here's the link to here, but want it on my own journal as well - the last one we have was just after Allegra was born (five years ago), and before Tom.

Gratefuls:
- time with all of us together, of course (feels especially precious in these times, with no idea of when the next time might be)
- delicious Vietnamese lunch (served by Júlio, a Brazilian from Porto Seguro)
- Mike driving us safely back to Sutton, the conditions were atrocious on the motorway, with heavy rain, heavy traffic and huge lorries (utterly grateful it wasn't me driving)
