Christmas

Yes Christmas will soon be here ...

St. Ann's Passage

St.Ann's Passage leading towards King Street which also has a Christmas market this year.

Many years ago - 40 plus - we bought a ring from Hancock & Son - I guess we would not be able to afford to shop there now.

Opposite Hancock was a cafe - long gone..

Christmas Market - St. Ann's Square

You'll find the Christmas markets all around Manchester - certainly spreading in size as the years go by.

This is St. Ann's Square.

Manchester Christmas Markets

The Christmas markets have now taken to the streets of Manchester - even in November they are proving very popular and attracting many visitors.

65 ...

That's me on the right - now officially an old age pensioner / I suppose it's all downhill now ??

Another milestone in life's rich tapestry.

Winter is on the way

This photo of our beech hedge was taken a few weeks ago when we still had some sunny days / now the weather has turned colder and very wet. 

Winter is certainly on the way.
