      Day 3

      Erkältungspausentag 2/2

      September 11, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Erkältungsmäßig fühle ich mich gut genug um morgen zu starten, nur meine Schuhe machen mir weiterhin Sorgen.
      Ich bringe sie zum Schuster zum Weiten. Ob das wirklich was bringt weiß ich nicht aber ich klammer mich an die Hoffnung.
      5 Pfund kommt mir etwas wenig vor für eine Tätigkeit die darüber entscheidet ob die nächsten 3 Wochen wandern aushaltbar sein werden.
      Leider bin ich jetzt 24 Stunden ohne Schuhe.
      Meine Vermitterin leiht mir ihre kaputten zu kleinen Gartenschuhe. Toll :p

      Ich verbringe den Tag mit Katzen beobachten, lesen und weiter ausruhen.

      Ich weiß leider nicht wie das Wasser im Bad warm geht, also sitze ich erst 5 min im kalten Erkältungsbad, das ich extra mitgebracht habe und geh danach unter die kalte Dusche.

      Danach gibt es wieder was zu Essen von Too Good to go.
      Es ist günstig und ich werde überrascht.
      Pasteten sind ja wohl so ein Ding hier.
      Meine Chickenpastete schmeckt wie Hühnerfrikase im Blätterteigmantel :D
      Es gibt noch Steakpastete, eigentlich Gulasch in Mürbeteig :D
      Zum Nachtisch Pastete mit Marmelade :)
      Ich hab genug geordert um morgen ganz Stressfrei im Zug versorgt zu sein.
      Sandwiches und Cookies warten auf mich :)

      Auf dem Weg vom Essen holen bestaune ich die Läden, die urigen Pubs, die Vorstadthäußer, Schuluniformen und die doppeldecker Busse.      Read more

      Manchester locally

      July 12, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

      No trips today just getting out and about in local Manchester.

      The girls went to Elizabeth Gaskell house which is an old Victorian property where Gail volunteers. Elizabeth was the owner and became a famous English writer. Regarded as ‘one of the greatest female novelists of all time’ Elizabeth Gaskell was born in 1810 and lived at 84 Plymouth Grove in Manchester with her family from 1850 until her death in 1865. Elizabeth welcomed guests such as Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte to her House and mixed with a cross section of Victorian society from the poor of the workhouse to the likes of Florence Nightingale and Charles Darwin.

      Alan and I visited the Imperial War Museum which had a focus on how Manchester coped during the war.

      Everything is quite local to their house which is on the river. You can see the Manchester United stadium not far away. If you have a lazy US$6 billion, they are for sale.

      Further down from the museum is the Coronation Street set and filming studio. Yes, it is still in production!

      Alan took me to The Britons Protection pub. It was the scene of a violent local political rally in 1904 where 15 demonstrators died. I was pleased to see my ancestor's whiskey on sale although I had a beer.

      We passed the Midland hotel walking back into town. In the entrance was a 1939 Rolls Royce. This was the hotel where monsieur’s Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met for afternoon tea and decided to try their hand at building cars.

      A quick stop at the state library and we then rendezvoused with the girls at Sam’s Chop House for a late lunch.

       We had to back track to find a misplaced umbrella which became another excuse for another drop.

      Home on a tram and relaxed to plan tomorrow. We will be on the move again.      Read more

      Da simma. Erfolgreich das Auto abgegeben. Endgültig gefahrene Distanzen: 2119 km in Frankreich, 760 Meilen (1216 km) in England/Wales 😁 jetzt sind wir gut im Hotel in Manchester angekommen und machen für heute Fußball Abend im Hotelzimmer. Dieses Manchester ist nicht schöner geworden seit ich das letzte Mal hier war. Aber Benni ist schon sehr aufgeregt wegen seiner Stadiontour morgen 🤗 auf dem 2. Foto ist übrigens Benni der sich nach dem aussteigen aus der Straßenbahn in einem Pub den Matchball vom Wimbledon Finale anschaut 😂Read more

      Day 1

      Manchester to Reus

      July 1 in England ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      With the holiday booked less than 24hrs before flight time, it was a mad dash to get all packed ready and sorted. All too soon our 3am alarms were going off. Kairo stayed asleep while we got showered, dressed and put the bags in the car. Then there was no choice but to wake him for a nappy change and dress.
      Luckily after a cry, he fell asleep in the car before we even hit the motorway. It was smooth sailing all the way to the airport, where we parked in T2 multi storey and headed to jet 2 check in.
      We had the new experience of using the family lane through baggage claim and had to pass Kairo through the body scanner while the pram was searched.
      After a quick nosey in duty free, we grabbed a meal deal then it was time to go to gate. There we took a pic and posted it as a surprise in both our fam chats.
      Once on board Kairo was crying for a feed so we got settled. We were so long taking off however that he'd finished his feed before we got going. I shouldn't have worried though he was a natural flyer and fell asleep for a lot of the journey.
      1hr50mins later we touched down in Reus, unfortunately there was no hit of warmth as we got off the plane as it was raining and thunderstorms. I did however get an unexpected phonecall from nicola who had just watched us get off the plane. Turns out her and Andy had been in Salou for a week and were flying back on our plane!      Read more

      Phase 7. The next and last bit.

      June 28 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Today we left the narrow boat and our ‘lock bitches’ behind.
      An over nighter in Manchester before picking the hire car and heading to Scotland.
      Our train from Crewe to Manchester airport was cancelled so we jumped on a train that got us close and taxied the rest.
      A roomy shower was nice once we arrived at the Crowne Plaza.      Read more

      Ich hab nichts getan so schwer das auch war.
      Ausgeschlafen und gelesen.
      Ein Spaziergang zum Essen und zurück.

      Komisches Gefühl so nah an einer neuen großen Stadt zu sein und trotzdem die Füße stillzuhalten.
      Aber da krank wandern keine Option ist werde ich morgen auch nochmal aktiv gar nichts tun.

      Ein paar neue Sachen gab es trotzdem, neue Ampeln, Linksverkehr und seltsame Türklinken.      Read more

      Manchester - Family History Day 1

      January 5, 2020 in England ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F

      Today was dedicated to finding family headstones. With good planning it turned out to be easier than anticipated. Dottie and Adel have good memories of locations and combined with maps and the internet the headstones were easily located. At Southern Cemetery area U-2141 Isabella Occelston is my g-g-grandmother. John Weedall and Isabella Weedall are my g-grandparents.
      At Saint Winfreds church are the markers for Grandpa George and Grandma Clare (Clara). These are the people that I knew as a child.

      Also made another new friend Jennie Roberts. She is a member of the church and grew up in Manchester on Crown Street. Her family owned Massey Chip Shop. Visited with her and had a cup of tea. She had extra memories of the area and the town. Another wonderful connection to Manchester.

      Monday I’m heading to the Manchester library to hunt old maps and photos of the places the family lived.

      Finished the evening with Sunday Roast.      Read more

      Chatsworth day trip

      July 11, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      We are heading out to drive to Chatsworth. It will be a fairly long drive, maybe an hour or so. The new Kia EV6 is fully charged and off we go.

      The countryside is lush and green, you can’t help but be impressed by all the stonewall fences.

      From the moment you enter the estate grounds it is jaw dropping how beautiful and grand this piece of history is and we couldn’t wait to look inside.

      Chatsworth House was home to the Dukes & Duchess’s Devonshire family and has been passed down through 16 generations. They are all at rest buried in a nearby village at the St Peter’s church. The property came into the family after being purchased by Sir William Cavendish for £600 in 1549, who then began building on the grounds.

      Kings and Queens visited here, and, in that era, it was all about decadence and wealth that was on display to all that visited. It is just an amazing place to visit.

      For the Pride & Prejudice fans this mansion featured in the movie and tv series.

      There are over 25 rooms in the stately home including the Painted Hall, State Rooms, Sculpture Gallery as you walk through discovering its art, history and all about the family.

      The ceiling art defies belief. In every room there are staff to tell you the story of the family.

      Each Duke wanted to make it bigger and grander than the previous generations, leaving their mark on one of Derbyshire’s finest country houses.

      There were just so many stunning pictures to be taken it will be hard to settle in the top 10.

      We spent several hours walking through and then we covered the grounds too. The weather has been a bit unkind today, but it didn’t dampen our experience.

      The emperor water fountain works on gravity and the fountain steps are amazing.

      Before we headed back to Manchester, we had to stop at the Devonshire Arms for a locally brewed pint.

      Gail cooked up a home cooked feast and we settled in watching episodes of Pride & Prejudice so we could say “we were there today”.      Read more

      Manchester Interval

      June 25 in England ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Spent the day getting to know Manchester. A busy city with a mixture of history and modern life. Lots of different people, mainly younger, shops very hospitable and courteous, many homeless and food handouts. Busy narrow streets with people crossing and moving about the buses, trams and cars. Police having difficulty manoeuvring around the traffic and pedestrians to the point of sirens going to remind them to move clear, Police have a sense of humour, laughing about the congestion in their car. 🤣 Walked Oxford Street of further learning with universities, museums, pubs, parks, and public squares. Staying 2 streets from LGBT community, streets very bright and pretty. Dinner at Yum Cha and then a Musical at the Opera. A very pleasant and enjoyable day. Weather warm 26.Read more

      Manchester: The end but the start

      June 14 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      📌 A flight from Poland to Manchester! The end of our travels to get to the UK, but the start of our next adventure. It had been an unbelievable journey so far, we had learnt and seen so much that we won't forget. Both keen to get some routine and to stop being a tourist for a while seemed like a nice change on the horizon.

      📌 We travelled on a packed train from the airport to Hebden bridge where we met a woman who was also heading to Hebden bridge, she was super stressed and so grateful we helped her with the trains and times. Our first impressions of the UK were going well, the northerners were already loving a chat with us ☺️

      📌 We met Emily at Hebden bridge station, and we were welcomed to a very quaint and cool town. It was nice to be in the comfort of someone's home, particularly with a furry friend named Brunswick.      Read more
