Our Trip To Salford Quays and Media City 10 July 2013

The day started well I had had a good night sleep plus it was a little cooler, my nosebleeds had ceased for the time being, picked up Andy then met Brian in town, when by tram to media city, we found it was a great place to take photos of all different shapes and buildings, I remember when there was nothing in this area at all, in fact if we go back far enough, this was once a very busy dockyard many years ago but nothing apart from the cranes seems to have survived,

one of the interesting things was all the people we name badges, well nearly all were young pretty people.

We went into the main building after taking a few photos, for a drink amongst other things we had a look round to see if we could see any celebrities, but there were non visible, Then I noticed a map so went over to have a look at it, whilst trying to work out what it said two young women approached us one with the obligatory clipboard, I explained that the board was to describe some work that they were planning to do to encourage people into doing more to do with the wider background in theatre, this was far too good a chance for me, so I regaled/bored them of my history in amateur dramatics backstage, they listened politely and then asked if they could take our photo, very reluctantly we rushed to pose, don't know if or when it will be seen.We then had another wander around taking photos of the various buildings, before coming across the blue Peter garden,

they have Petras statue and Sheps paw print in concrete, they must have moved the whole thing up from London, we then took the Metro to Salford quays and took a range of photos again of buildings, plus a man on waterski using an electric hoist, took the metro back home until large groups of schoolchildren, it had been quiet until them, now look forward to the next adventure.

sorry I forgot to mention whilst wandering round we cam across a pair of swans and their cygnets totally oblivious to all that was going on around them as we went round the quays
