Manchester again

Thursday 19th January - Monday 23rd January

This is another selection of grey drizzly days which which have run into one another again. We tried a different hotel this time, which was even closer to our family; we had a very nice big room, and the breakfast was very good. But this one wasn't well placed for public transport. However, we had the car so that didn't matter. We had another packing and unpacking session, putting back into storage anything we didn't want to take skiing, and we had to make further attempts at filing. The car also needed an MOT as that would run out in early February, and as Paul likes brinkmanship, he booked it in for our final day in Manchester.

Our final day was rather complicated as we were looking after our grandson while our daughter-in-law was in hospital, and Paul had to get the car's MOT done, not to mention trying to buy some spares which is always difficult with an old car. Anyway, it all went more or less according to plan, the car was put back into the garage and we returned our grandson to our son as he went off to the hospital, while we caught a taxi to the station for our 6.30 train. We arrived in London just over two hours later, and caught the tube to Heathrow where we got a bus to our overnight hotel.
