Chinese new year

This afternoon we went into Manchester to get some birthday presents and have a look round

We expected the Chinese New Year celebrations in St annes square to be in full swing but there were only a few food stalls and street performers

The light show etc was starting at 7 and tomorrow is the big dragon parade so I guess we just timed it wrong

The lanterns and lights in the trees did look pretty though and now we're having a Chinese for tea lol
