On a sparking sunny autumn day, after 12 hours of overnight rain, Manchester has delivered a magnificent finale to our holiday. Steve, Lynne & I had bought seats for the Premier League match Man City [10th on table] v Liverpool [2nd on the table]. The match was a sellout with 45000 vociferous fans in the City Stadium. The match was a thriller with all five goals scored at one end, the end where we were sitting, in line with the penalty box and just a few rows back from the sideline!!! I bought a Man City sky blue scarf as a souvenir and a practical one at that to keep out the chill.
We are staying at an Ibis chain hotel in the city centre and after a last supper with Steve we fly out for Oz tomorrow morning. We have been away four weeks and it feels like four months... a sure sign of a good holiday.
Thanks Reg & Linda and also Juliet for blog comments.
