Good morning Manchester! Rachel was, as always, a wonderful host, and made us the most ridiculous Sunday brunch. She had the day off work, so we discussed a few options of what we would do; then landed on Rachel's brilliant suggestion of just walking around the local area and stopping very often for fika or drinks. :)
Rachel (and Fergus of course, who was sadly out working on
(I mean - it IS funny though? Admit it!)
After we'd had a look around some of the local charity shops we decided it was time for fika.
I was very pleased with my choice of scone and hot chocolate.
Then we went to the Parsonage Gardens ...
... and to Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens. It was such a great day for a walk: overcast, beautiful light, not too hot or too cold, and so much catching up to do and things to talk about.
Then we decided we wanted a drink, so we went to the Didsbury (which, I don't know ... Not the most imaginative name for a pub in Didsbury?).
Dark beer for Liam, gin & orange for me, red wine for Rachel.
It was such a cosy place!
Then we got hungry. Pizza time!
Rudy's is such a great pizza place. Strong recommend.
The food was verrrry good.
Then we moseyed back to Rachel's, very full of pizza. :) Liam got some resting in, while Rachel and I took a tour around the local park to let the food go down.
And we met Rachel's very cuddly neighbour, I think his name was Archie. :)
The rest of the evening was spent in the most perfect way imaginable - with hot chocolate (double hot choc day!) ...
... and several episodes of the Great Pottery Throwndown. :) Such a brilliant Sunday!
