Our friends in the North

Sorry for the lack of posting recently. The last couple of days have been hectic, involving much driving on my part, and also lots of tiredness. Denise got the coach over to Oxford from London on Friday, and then the two of us drove up to Manchester, taking in Stratford-on-Avon on the way. We got to Manchester just after 6pm, and were treated to dinner by Greg ('coddle' for those who are interested), then making our way to the student bar nearby in the evening for a few bevvies. Today involved more driving, this time to York. I love York, and it's really nice to wander around, but it was bloody freezing today, with a stiff wind. On the way back we stopped in Bradford to go to my favourite curry house, famed for having the largest naan bread in the UK. And believe me, it's large. When Denise posts her pictures of the monstrosity, I shall link to them. Full stomachs and a doggy bag later, we then drove back to Manchester (although I swore a lot in the car when we got back as I got lost trying to get back to Greg's. The signage in Manchester is less than perfect).

When I have more time I will catch up properly with people, but I am tired.... it is weird being back here as I feel like I've never been away. It's great seeing all my friends though! And somehow Greg has managed to fit Denise and I in his very small room, plus suitcases, and that alone deserves much credit....
