At 04:25 our new granddaughter made her arrival – somewhat rapidly and only 10 minutes after Sarah had got to the hospital!

No Comments
| Football

pensioners trip out

Today we called into the Imperial War Museum (North) and it was first class – a good example of an attraction that’s pretty much on our doorstep and yet one we had never made the time to visit. Like any of these type of places they provide plenty of pretty sobering images and words of […]

some organisations are mean spirited

A few weeks ago we took my parents to lunch in a Beefeater pub/restaurant which was pretty reasonable. I completed an online feedback survey and received a voucher for a bottle of wine next time I eat at a Beefeater … as long as it was within two weeks! As that seemed a little limiting […]

despite a decent performance – and for the most part a pretty even match up City’s Champions League hopes were all but put to the sword in the 0-2 defeat at The Ethihad last night, as Barcelona took the advantage in advance of the second leg. Of course it’s not over until it’s over but […]

bit of a ride out this morning to the Blakemere craft village – which was OK, little bit of browsing, bought a couple of bits and pieces and then treated Pat to an amazing lunch … as luck would have it we ‘just happened’ to be near a bike dealers/bike parts place which has a […]

in what is proving to be another great season of being a Manchester City fan – with a trip to Wembley already booked for the League Cup Final, an FA Cup quarter-final place booked, and a strong challenge for the League title underway, tonight sees a football fans dream as City take on Barcelona at […]
