It was very busy. The good weather had brought thousands of people out to sit outside pubs and cafes. The premises above are very old pubs near the cathedral. As a matter of interest The Old Wellington Inn (on the left) is the oldest building of its kind in Manchester and was built in 1552 . 
The Manchester Wheel is still to be found in front of Selfridges. I’ve been on it a couple of times and don’t feel the need to repeat the experience. Sitting in one of those glass boxes 180 ft up is not my idea of fun!The purpose of my visit over to Sylvia’s was to join her and her beautiful twin daughters in a trip to see a performance of Blood Brothers at the Buxton Opera House.
The Opera House and below is a pub opposite it flying the flag of every football country in the world it would seem.
Blood Brothers was really, really good! We all sat there enthralled. Syl and I both had to wipe tears away at the end. The girls had seen it before in London and said this production was every bit as good as the London one. I now need to go look on Amazon for the CD.

Hello Kathleen!
Thanks for visiting That Old House; if I were able to ship you some of our ripe tomatoes, I would -- but it's a little too far from New Jersey to the UK!
You have made me long for another visit to your wonderful country, with your pictures. Beautiful! And it sounds as if you had a fabulous day with your sister and nieces. Lovely.
