A CHILLED WEEKEND

A perfect weekend no have to do, no have to goes, Friday started with lunch out and coffee after, no rush no where to be just eating, drinking coffee dodging rain showers.  On Saturday lunch at the Corner House Manchester not the first choice but our preferred choice The Thirsty Scholar what seems like a seedy student pub under the railway arches but does[ did ? ]really good vegan / vegetarian food  appears to have shut down, then we watched Jane Eyre at the Corner House Cinema, what was nice unlike other film endings peole stayed and just listened to the music and read the credits nice.

Our meal at he Corner House Cafe was good, I had a falafal burger with chips and Daughter had a vegan pizza, would recommend last time we went food was not up to much hopefully this wasn't a one off and has improved I believe it is under new management

The rest of the weekend just pottering reading new books, planting out new rosemary plant, baking pear and strawberry crumble, eating strawberry and pear crumble with soya neapolitan ice cream with rain lashing on the windows while watching You've Got Mail, yes Autumn is here, also with the rest of the world watching Downton Abbey love it so much.

 

 There of course was time do a bit of thifty shopping, old biscuit tins and embroidered cloths with some more plates for hire stash
