Think they do the market once a month. But the cafe is quite nice anyway at other times.

First time at Campfield #Manchester when the market is on. Excellent sound system adding to the relaxed vibe.

It was probably the most unexpected best exhibition I've been to. I knew nothing of the artist before attending.

Flesh would come with an adult content warning if it was on TV.
Now I have to remember who I loaned Mockingbird to...

Christmas reads.
Harper Lee - short stories that I enjoyed, but mainly made me want to reread To Kill a Mockingbird.
Flesh by David Szalay - I read this really quickly, which is a good sign. It is a reflective and thought-provoking read that is often bleak / sad. #BookSky #Books 💙📚

Christmas reads.
Mick Herron and Richard Osman - good - just as you would expect.
The second Full Moon Coffee Shop - OK, but not as good as the first one.
Patricia Lockwood - Odd - still not sure what I read.

A little trip to the cafe at Gorton Monastry. #Manchester

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
Think this pretty much sums up now.
William Shakespeare in 1600, a description of a distopian future better than Orwell or Bradbury?

A mighty fine Guinness in there.

Both good books!
I really liked the Kate Daniels series.

Once again spoiled for choice after a few days in Pompei... So many wonderful floors, but one never gets bored. Well, this one is a little boar-ing

This is a Deer Park - according to the map... Wonder if anyone was confused?

It's been one of those wet days...

As usual with gull...

Hope no one else reads that...
But that was sort of my point!

Did you get a picture of the frozen falls?

London’s homicide rate drops to lowest in more than a decade Sadiq Khan says ‘public health’ approach has made the capital one of the safest cities in the western world

While #Reform cynically exploit fear to do down our great city, let the evidence speak for itself.

The Hall looks beautiful 😍 in your picture.

I'm sure you could, but I'm not sure what it would do to your blood sugar levels.
Btw they are very good! I had one with a lemon - which I think makes it very healthy 😉

It's in need of some loving care.

Significantly longer than my route!

Think it's probably one of my favourite short routes. Up from Hope and then a variety of paths back to Edale.
