Close to the Edge (ST1)


Was trying to think of a title for this post and decided to go with one inspired by this photo of my feet while out. I wasn't close to the edge. I am standing on a glass floor up Blackpool tower, but I thought the photo turned out well. More about that later.

Wednesday

I got into to Manchester and met Kate in Taurus. She gave me a very pretty bag. An early birthday present as the next day would be my birthday. I opened the bag to find a beautiful handbag and card. I was lost for words. I gave her hug and thanked her for the gift from herself and Suki. I must admit I felt some tears welling up but they were ones of joy.
We had a couple of drinks and something to eat while Kate recounted some of the events during the riots in Manchester. Unfortunately The Village did not escape. She also told me about Pride which sounded amazing.
It came time for me to check into my hotel and get changed.
I didn't get any photos with my new handbag when I was out so the one below was all I managed to take.


We met up with Diana who was staying over and I had a great first night out with 2 of my best friends. We didn't stay out to late as Kate, Diana and Suki had plans to take me to Blackpool for a birthday treat on Thursday. It would be a wonderful day that I won't forget..
