Manchester

When Claire had the opportunity to work in Manchester for 3 weeks, she took the new digital camera with her. Unfortunately, she didn't take the charger so not as many photos as there could have been.

Work put her up in a very nice mezzanine studio apartment with canal views straight towards the Manchester United Football stadium. There were some amazing sunrises and sunsets through the double story glass windows. Some blackout curtains would have been useful for sleeping though. The canal lights were very bright.

Like the rest of England, Manchester did get some of the snow but nothing like what fell in London. It did make for an interesting walk to the lab in heeled boots though.


There were no games on that weekend so we decided to see behind the scenes. Claire is still not converted to football!

Nice day, still have heat lamps on the pitch


A bit of strategy in the change room.

If you have to watch a game, these are seats you want. Coaches only though.


The camera ran out of battery so the last piccy is just to show the entrance to the shopping centre. Most importantly it had a Boost Juice Bar! It is the little things that we miss the most. Claire is on the way to finishing the first loyalty card, especially as now there is one in London as well.
