How's Maddy doing ?

Manchester

In an attempt to beat the post-Christmas blues, the family spent a day in Manchester in mid-January. The afternoon saw everyone preoccupied at the excellent City Art Gallery. The first pic shows Maddy and Bertie recreating the scene from "Manfred on the Jungfrau" by Ford Madox Brown.
The second pic is (sort of) self-explanatory.











































Then it was off to the Hard Rock cafe for tea - a significant venue for sentimental reasons - conveniently sited near Victoria station for the journey home.

En Francais:

Afin d'essayer de battre les bleus de poteau-Noël, la famille a passé un jour à Manchester en mi-Janvier. La scie d'après-midi chacun préoccupé à l'excellente galerie d'art de ville. Les premières expositions pic Maddy et Bertie recréant la scène de "Manfred sur le Jungfrau" par Ford Madox Brown. Le deuxième pic est (sorte de) art de l'auto-portrait-explanatory. Alors il était éteint au Hard Rock café (dur de roche ?) pour le repas - un rendez-vous significatif pour des raisons sentimentales - commodément situé près de la station de Victoria pour la maison de voyage.
