The cliché that tells us time flies when we're enjoying yourself was proven by the idle thought that passed through my mind the other day; "Wait a minute! We were in Manchester six months ago!!". Time has indeed flown.

A friend of mine once said that if you go to football just to watch football you’re doing it wrong and the last six months has reinforced the wisdom of that sentiment. You can watch twenty two players propel a size 5 football hither and thither but true enjoyment only comes when there’s a human connection with people of a like mind.

We have seen the climatic conditions seamlessly flow from the warm caress of the summer sun to winter's chill through autumn's damp but a sense of enjoyment has remained. People couldn't help but enjoy themselves, there’s been so much to enjoy; new experiences, new places to visit, flowing football, scenic backdrops, camaraderie, above all the camaraderie.

The photos in the link below are an attempt to provide a brief taste of what we’ve experienced since that wonderful day in the Mancunian sunshine.
