Took a train trip to
Manchester to see my Dad, inexpensive with the Trans Pennine Express Club 55 cheap
ticket offer that got me to Victoria Station for £15, and between changing
trains I spent an hour or two revisiting a few old haunts in the city and spotting
a few new attractions, including the National Football Museum where I lunched
on themed fare of pie and tea (what no Bovril!) and browsed the shop (nothing
there as eye-catching as the goalmouth urinals in the gents) before catching a
suburban train to my Dad’s; there they had the lawn mower ready and waiting for
me, but that admittedly rare filial duty over, I was rewarded with coffee and homemade
cake and we chatted until it was time for me to depart for my return trip home.
