Manchester and Chester March 25th to 27th 2011 The meeting up of new and old friends on the Friday and Saturday evenings.

We all met on the Friday, chatted and became more settled with our new found friends, Marie, Tina and Colin travelled by train from Manchester, Surrey and Scotland, Brenda flew down from Northern Scotland, and the remainder arrived by road. The Friday and Saturday evenings meals were enjoyed in the restaurant attached to the hotel close to Manchester Airport with the train station just 100 yards away...  The Budweiser is Marie's and the Coke mine, sorry to say I am not in any photos but not by choice.

Manchester and Chester with stroke survivor friends old and new March 25th to 27th 2011 This is the first series but on the second day, the others will be posted later.

Last weekend the 25 to the 27 of March 2011 a group of stroke survivors from all over the UK met in Manchester for a get-together. This was my first time out with my cameras for some months and am I glad to be back and posting on my blog... Some travelled from the far North of Scotland, Southern England, Wales and a few from the Manchester area. The photos below are of the second day when we visited Chester, some went shopping and down to the river and as you can all see I went to the Cathedral and a Costa Coffee. Please read the interesting story of the little elephant.  The last photo is a photo of a photo hanging in Costa Coffee and a colour negative!!
