The Week in Fun

Food
In the scrapbook style of The Vibes, which is two years old today, here’s a diary of Gianni’s Grand Tour of Manchester. He came all the way from Katerini in Greece to stay with us for the week.
 

Underground Manchester
There were underground ghost walks beneath the city and gourmet burgers…
 
Chill Factore
Krispy Kreme donuts and snowsports
 
Oz the Great and Powerful

Cats
And Cats the Musical in the flesh. I’m exhausted and high on junk food, but we sent Giannis home with a big smile on his face. Manchester rocks.
