Yesterday [Wednesday] was our first full day in Manchester; I went for my usual early morning walk. Went along the length of Oxford Road into the city centre, then got a bus back to Fallowfield. After breakfast Steve drove us out to the big sports complex on the East side of the city; while there we bought tickets for the FA Premier League match Manchester City v Liverpool on Sunday 05 OCT.
Some morning rain sent us inside, but then it fined up for us to all go for a walk along the banks of the Mersey River on the edge of Manchester. Everywhere boggy & saturated under foot after weeks of rain. Had a lovely pub lunch in the Jackson's Boat hotel on the other bank of the river in Cheshire.
I went out in the evening to the local pub the Wecome Inn; Lynne & Steve watched a video. I am off now for my morning walk; more rain forecast.

Hi, sounds like a lovely start to your trip!! Its fantastic you could get tickets to Man City and Liverpool game at such (relatively) short notice! That should be a great game to watch!
I did my second ever half marathon in Richmond today. I have sore legs today! After the run, I went and saw Claire, JM, Melita and Raj for a lunch stop, and saw their new pad in Elwood! Very nice and modern and bright. Architecturally designed, and with lovely large, new bathrooms and kitchen! Very nice!!
Love, JA xox
