One day at a time

On Wednesday I made my way to Nottingham by train to see family up there.

Checked out and had a successful final few hours in Manchester - picked up a jakka and got my hair cut. Now on the train heading to London and then will head over to Gatwick, where I will spend the evening before flying to Copenhagen tomorrow.

I managed to stay awake the whole day today, although I did wake up at 3am. Walked around the Gay Village area and then up to Manchester cathedral. I also went around the men's departments of Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, which were both disappointing. The designers featured all presented the same things, which were all based on sports wear, no really imagination or creativity. Also both stores had far more staff then customers. I was more impressed by the variety and creativity at Next than most of the designer labels. Did some shopping and ate at Nandos, which was a struggle as I had to order online and their website is poorly designed. I was struck walking around the city that parts felt very similar to Nottingham and particular the shared textiles history, but other parts felt more like London.
