We met at Yates pub on Portland Street

However some of the group did not enjoy their meal

A common complaint was the chips were cold and the chicken dry as if re-heated

We then had a short bus ride to Gorton Monastery

We were disappointed at being informed there was a function planned for the evening and that we could not have a look around apart from the gift shop and cafe.

I made a complaint to the Manager and he said we could have a look around

Following our very brief visit we went to The Richmond Tea Rooms

I thought they resemble the set of a Carry on Film

I could picture Kenneth Williams shouting Infamy Infamy They’ve All Got It Infamy!

This Saturday, 23rd September 2017, marks Bi Visibility Day, also known as International Celebrate Bisexuality Day, it has been marked around the world each year since 1999 to highlight biphobia and to help people find the bisexual community.

14 September 2017 – Trip to Pendle Heritage Centre in Barrowford

The weather man promised “sunshine and showers”, but he lied. We only saw sunshine and didn’t see the rainbow as expected.

We caught the bus to Burnley and then a further bus to the village of Barrowford which houses the Pendle Heritage Centre.

We had a lovely meal at the Centre (I’m sure Trip Advisor have been notified) and then had a look around the museum and visitor centre. Another great day out.

Although this visit was a first for some I have been several times

The cafe is always my first port of call

I had cheese and onion pie with cauliflower cheese and peas and chips

Everyone enjoyed their meal and all loved the chips which are excellent

We rounded off our visit with a pint in the Wagon and Horses

Going via Burnley worked out well as there is a frequent bus service to Barrowford

Four of us visited Liverpool on Thursday 7th September

The reason for the change was the shocking cost of a train ticket to Llandudno

£41.80 reduced to £28.00  with a rail card I said to the clerk it will be cheaper with Ryanair

We decided to visit Liverpool instead and had an enjoyable day

We dined at The  Monroe on Duke Street which was terrific and enjoyed by all.

I had Goats cheese for a starter followed by Cumberland sausage and mash and Sticky Toffee Pudding for desert.
