What is this with all the rain you're having in Manchester  ::)  We've had a lovely couple of days here in Hampshire as we did last weekend and I'm always telling people it doesn't rain in Manchester any more than anywhere else. :P

 :) Not a bad day considering,

with Manchester being surrounded by penines is one reason it rains a lot here but, getting stuck in when it rains makes it all the better when the sun is shining.

Can't make next Sunday but, will bring some sunshine back from Lanzarote for the week after, hope you have a good day all the same.

Regards,

Spatts  ;)

Spatts

I was born in Manchester, but living down south now I'm always standing up for the place when people down here keep on about all the rain it gets.  I do remember getting wet quite a lot when going to school and having to hang coats up in the cloakroom during the day, but they were still wet at home time.  My memory tells me this was only in the winter though.

Hi

 :D

New page added to our website, "Press Cuttings" as a sub-topic of "News" and Benjamin Brierley and Edward Meacham added to the "Notable Burials" page.

Weather looking good for the weekend - possibly better than Malta  8) -  have a great day.

Also Happy Holidays, Spatts.
