We’ve been out and about again (it’s what us retired folk do), this week to Manchester
Art Gallery to see the Dandy Style exhibition. 250 years of Men’s Fashion.
It’s so quick and cheap for us to get into the city centre, £10 for
the two of us and we can jump on the trams for that as well.
Here’s a few of the outfits we saw.
My own Dandy was the smartest visitor there.
As a treat we had lunch in Waterstones on Deansgate
And then I spent a happy hour browsing the shelves while
Philip roamed round the shops.
On Monday night we visited a local church that has been
converted into an events venue and restaurant. Freddy who
bought the redundant building has brought life back to this
beautiful old place of worship. He is very community minded and
opens the doors for lots of local groups to enjoy.
The event we attended was a Candlelight concert with beautiful
classic music played by Mercury String and two very talented
young ballerinas performed parts of Swan Lake.
With the atmosphere of the church it was very moving.
No crafting or stitching this week as we’ve been out walking
and working in the garden.
There’s a planning meeting about whether we go to the
caravan for the Coronation Day celebrations or stay home
and deck the house with bunting. It’ll be the weather that
decides where we will be. Either venue it’ll be spent with
friends and there’ll be lots of good food and a tipple or two.
Enjoy the weekend all
