miss b loves.........giant Easter eggs in Manchester

A couple of weeks ago as we were walking through Manchester City Centre we came across some beautiful giant Easter eggs. They were part of The Big Egg Hunt sponsored by Lindt chocolates raising money for Action for Children, a UK charity.      

101 eggs designed by leading artists had been dotted about the city centre. The range of designs was fascinating and I was on a mission to track them down even though this was meant to be a shopping trip!! It was a cold, wet day but we still persevered although we certainly didn't find them all!! 

As it's Easter Weekend I thought I would show you a few of our favourites from cute.....to quirky.....

miss b loves......'teacup on thomas street', Manchester

I regularly visit Manchester but for some time now I have been disappointed by the distinct lack of really good tea shops until two weeks ago when I discovered teacup on thomas street in the heart of the trendy Northern Quarter. It's light and airy - so much bigger than you expect from the front window and so quirky with its polka dot table cloths,vintage-style crockery and bright red chunky tea pots........
