I went to Manchester city centre using my free bus pass yesterday, I also went for the very first time on a Metrolink tram. although I’ve lived in the Manchester area all my life but it must be many years since I’d visited the city centre because I didn't recognise it and I was like a tourist taking photos.
With the help of some very nice ladies - one about 18 at the local bus stop, one really lovely, heavily-pregnant young woman, her child is due in early august. But she wore a very pretty smock-type top instead of these stupid crop tops that teenage mothers-to-be wear, and we had a lovely chat at the tram stop.
Then a very smart, more mature lady at the tram terminus who told me she grew up near where I lived as a youngster and we exchanged reminiscences of days gone by and where we used to play.
She, apparently, worked (before she retired) at the stock exchange in Manchester but wasn't allowed on the floor because she was female. What a great day of talking to people it was!

My bus pass arrived today and I have been wondering where to go and indeed if I will have the courage to venture to pastures new. I've just read your blog about your visit to Manchester, quite near to where I live, and it has given me the motivation I need to get out and about.
You very obviously had a lovely day out and met some interesting people. I hope that this was the first of many.
