Hi everyone, last week we had quite a long walk into Manchester again. We took our car in and unfortunately the service garage isn't on a public transport route. It took us about 50 minutes to walk.
We did a little bit of shopping then went to Gino's for lunch.
Hubby had Mushroom Risotto and I had one of my favourites on their menu - Butternut Squash Ravioli in a cream sauce. We shared a side salad.I apologise for starting before remembering to take a photo. As I am sharing our drinks at T Stands For Tuesday at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog - The Altered Book Lover I'm sure you can spot the bottle of water, I also had a tonic water with ice and lemon.
We then set off on the long walk back - altogether on Friday I walked 20,117 steps.
Today we did our weekly food shop and called in to Styall Mill Gardens for a walk in the sunshine.
The Sweet Pea supports are ready
Thanks for looking, Chris

I won't be here long because oh my - you have made me SO hungry and I'm due to have some dinner soon! I would have either one of your choices with pleasure:)
Lovely, lovely photos of the gardens and your walk. And how wonderful to see a butterfly already!
Enjoy the rest of your week, and happy T day!
Hi Chris, what a beautiful walk in the gardens I enjoyed all of the lovely photos. I have a couple daffodils blooming now too. Your meals and desserts sound soooo delicious I would love to try them all haha.
Happy T and have a good week hugs
You definitely earned that cheesecake walking that many steps. And what a nice walk at Styall Mill Gardens too. You have so many gardens around you for certain, and you have real spring too. Your lunch does look very yummy too. Sounds like you had a busy but nice day out. Hope you had a great T day Chris. Hugs-Erika
Delicious looking food - butternut squasch ravioli, yum! - and beautiful photos from your walk. Spring is certainly on her way.
Manchester is lovely. I love the touches of color popping through the still brown landscape. A 50 minute walk is very far. Good for the both of you!
Your dessert at Gino's looks delicious.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I'm sitting here after eating a piece of buttered toast and thinking both of your meals were wonderful. Now the toast needs something more. Even that dessert looks to die for. Yum indeed, Chris. Your plethora of drinks rivaled the food you shared.
Enjoyed the walk. Lovely daffs and beautiful tulips. My garden is just starting to wake, and the gardens you show us are already screaming spring has arrived. Thanks for sharing and tempting me with your food and drink for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
Such an enjoyable walk!

Lovley photos, Chris. Gino's sounds like my kind of place. Your Chocolate cheesecake with sour cherries sounds wonderful! Happy T Day.
Wonderful photos, happy T day! Hugs, Valerie
Lunch out looks wonderful especially the chocolate cheesecake. Beautiful gardens. That greenhouse would make Himself's eyes turn green. Happy T Day
What a long walk! Those gardens are lovely, and it's sweet to see a butterfly already. Happy T Day :)
That was a long walk Chris! Beautiful photos of the gardens. I've seen a few butterflies on my walks, and it was really warm here today.
Beautiful place to visit Chris, and well done getting all those steps in too. Your pasta meals look and sound delicious too. I have some sweet peas just ready to be planted but I am still working out my support system. Sorry for my lateness, struggling with my sprained wrist. Happy belated T Day Elle/EOTC xx
