Merry Christmas Manchester

Beck and I went off to Manchester today for a night away from the kids (canine and otherwise) courtesy of a free hotel night that we'd earned through the Summer's Stateside jaunt. We had tea and cake in the Town Hall, wandered round the Cathedral and the Art Gallery and had a very nice meal at Mr. Cooper's at the Midland Hotel. Beck insisted that I blip the Town Hall Santa in all his full-colour glory - the extra is something a bit more monochrome, just for balance...
