Manchester and Lewis Birthday

We went up to Manchester in the early morning, leaving the house at around 8.30am and Charlotte and Miles were a bit quiet; Charlotte, more than anything with a big hangover having been out night before.

The journey up was without incident, but we stopped at services in Birmingham right next to West Brom football stadium.

Got to Lewis's and had some lunch before ordering taxi which was eight seater to take us into town instead of using the train. Unfortunately it didn’t arrive and we had the stress of being 45 minutes late and being picked up it was a bit of a shit show.

However we resolved not to let that affect us and got on with enjoying the afternoon. First up was the Wash House which was a cocktail bar that was hidden behind doors that resembled washing machines and vending machines so the whole idea was that it was a secret location. It was done very well and you had to have a table booked and had to buzz in reception to be allowed in.

The area the bar area was really quite good and we chose various cocktails that were very expensive but when they came out, they were delicious. The time it took for one to be created meant that there was a little chance of having a second one and we decided to move on to the next location which was axe throwing.

That was great fun - I don't remember much more about the day as I am updating this over a year later! Sorry
