Arnside (again)

Yesterday's train journey to Manchester was disrupted when we reached Bolton and this entailed ah hour's wait while a broken train in front of us was towed away.  No matter.

Consequently, we were later going out to get something to eat - but Santana managed the biggest pizza I have ever seen at a pizzeria near our hotel.  

No 2 son took the 0700 flight to Manchester and he was with us by around 0900.  We had coffee at Manchester Piccadilly and then set off into the city centre to look around the shops and run a few errands.  

Lunch at Dishoom was delicious and A then left us to return home.  Although he was standby on the flight, he got a seat and our return train journey was uneventful today.

It was lovely to see him.  He was particularly chipper and we had a good day.  We are both very tired now.

This is our view from the train as we went over Arnside Viaduct and was the only photo I took all day.
