Surprising Jack and time in Manchester

So we were up at 5.30am and on the road 30 mins later driving up to Manchester, Jack didn't know this but Tash wanted to turn up and surprise him at his run club. Tash wasn't well in the night and was sick a number of times and felt sorry for herself on the journey up there.

The journey was great, hardly any traffic for a long way because it was so early and we got to Media City about 8.30am, only one problem..Tash had left her running shoes in the house! So we found a Sports Direct and as soon as it opened at 9.00am she was in there getting some new ones, said she needed them anyway..yeah right!

Got to Media City square where crowds were building and Jack turned up so that was funny. I walked off with Bess as I wasn't bothered about being involved and Bess wouldn't have been able to cope either so I still did a long wander around the Quays/Dock and I was walking back I saw them doing their circuit - a lot of people involved.

I met them when they'd finished, wasn't long, only about 5km I think, we had Costa Coffee and chatted, mostly about his issues with the business and they then had to leave so Tash and I jumped into the van and drove to Knutsford. The houses on the way in (Mere) were astonishing, so much money on show! And Knutsford itself was very impressive, I was surprised for some reason, if it's somewhere Lewis and Emily are looking to move to then they could find far worse places to settle in that's for sure!

We parked up next to a nice park and had our lunch and then wandered around the town and Tash got her nails done (not one to waste time!) and I had a pint and watched the world go passed. We then set off back to Lewis's house and we had a BBQ in the garden which was nice, and finished off the evening watching some of the Olympics that is being held in Paris. 

Early night in the end because of an early start tomorrow morning - Saturday and Sunday should not be having alarms set for 5.30am!!
