Manchester

We are slowely but surely working our way through the last few months adventures and now we find ourselves in January when we took a trip up to mighty Manchester.



We spent one grey weekend in the Northern City. It seems to be a creative hub in amidst of an aging industrial landscape.
Did you know that Manchester was the worlds first industrialised city?
In the northern quarter we felt right at home among the graffiti-ed streets, book shops, record stores, and general crafty goodness.






This is Andy in classic the yoga pose: “boiling kettle, lead too short”



We came across a few ace tea houses. The first of which, we happened to eavesdrop on a philosophical discussion between 2 very northern blokes in a very pink, floral tea house.
It was pretty miserable on the Sunday too, so we spent a few hours in this super cool cafe/record store/sweet vintage tea set shop/t shirt shop.




And that concludes our brief visit to Manchester.

Yes, I did know that Manchester was the worlds first industrialised city, actually. But thanks for reminding me.
