Manchester

29 Nov 12   Walked into Manchester to get some more tram photos, then into the city centre
to have a look round the Christmas markets.  When I'd had enough of that I jumped on a tram
to Oldham, as you do, for a cappuccino and a slice of the yummy coffee and walnut cake at the
Naked Bean cafe at Gallery Oldham.  After that I jumped on an Ashton bus but got off at
Bardsley and walked home through Daisy Nook Country Park.  Sunny.
