Family Visit

A couple of weekends ago my family visited Oliver and I in Manchester. After a week or so of bursts of sunshine we were treated to overcast Manc skies and rain. Of course. We went for lunch in Katsouri’s, on Deansgate, which is a super good value Greek deli. They serve hot roasted meat sandwiches every day of the week for under a fiver, and they have what seems to be a rarity, an imaginative and tasty salad bar, actually appealing to vegetarians. The place is always busy at lunchtimes, but go later in the afternoon for a quieter whatever you fancy.

We wandered through Spinningfields, which would have been a treat in the sunshine, and made an impromptu visit to the Museum Of Science and Industry. Since we’d visited with a 7 year old child, there wasn’t much opportunity to take in much science or industry. I’d like to visit again, with Oliver, to wander round slowly and learn more about Manchester. With the miserable budget we’re both sticking to, free days out are essential. A bicycle and a museum is a good combination for us.
