馬莎cheese cake - highly recommended

5pm @ Liverpool - the wind can almost blow us up.   Looks like a storm is coming.  Should we go?  3 of us end up holding together to cross the road behind to retail park opposite for store visit..   

咁大風我都諗要唔要call 的士車我地返對面酒店.     差點放棄蓮絲推介既馬莎cheese cake - £2.19 每盒2件, 咁大個女都未食過咁好味既cheese cake.    點解香港馬莎無?   我地幾飽都要食晒, 仲有Lipton tea bag 配 cheese cake.

Mr. Thomas' Chop House @ Manchester

蓮絲book 咗呢間於Manchester 市既餐廳請我地食, 唔算貴. 間餐廳好full, 一定要先訂檯. The best restaurant I ever have in UK. It seems my whole trip is worth again with this meal

Appetizer - Mr Thomas's crispy Corned Beef Hash Cake - yummy!!!

 1st time to try Parsnip soup - great with bread!

Fish & chips - my favorite on chips Actual look of chips is better than my photo.

Fish pie with home-made beans.

Roast Beef - luckily we share all the dishes, or we won't be able to try different food.

Choco cake

with white choco and choco at the base. Suppose to share between 2, but we can actually share among 6!!!

The restaurant is so warm, see our winter and summer outfit

We start our lunch @ 2:30pm and we have to give up our dinner I end up slept @ 8:30pm, while my colleagues are earlier than me @ 8:00p.m. I woke up @ 4:30am the next day. Replying my boss' e-mail early in the morning, he told me to go to bed again. How can I go back to sleep after sleeping for 8 hours already???

前往英國

係德國無睇電視, 係buyer口中先知一架BA777係London lose power 失事. D buyer 原先要係London 轉機, 臨時改往Munich轉機, 以防delay. 一早收到上海同事message, 話飛機delay. 原本打算等埋一齊坐車去Liverpool. 即我地要等4個鐘. 去到Manchester後我地掙扎要唔要存放行李, 出Manchester 市區走一走, 不過費用£5. 8pm關門. 最後我地覺得唔扺都係留係機場等. 由Terminal 1 行到Terminal 3, 先發覺佢班機又delay. 我地只好放棄等待, 先行回酒店. 之前book咗private 的士要£40. 最後佢差唔多11pm返到酒店, 無食飽. 好彩我地有打包俾佢.


Marriott South @ Liverpool - 我第一晚酒店要£65 (包早餐), 之後係£99 (唔包早餐). 早餐要加£14. 咁後幾日唔係俾酒店賺好多 Internet 又係好貴 - £15 for 24 hours.


酒店張床好軟好comfortable.

我搜索咗好耐, 終於係pillow 後面找到電掣 個位置雖然方便, 但費咗我一番功夫先找到.

琴晚無開大暖氣, 未天光就凍醒咗. 落去見到d熱早餐居然覺得好感動, 可見得自己平時唔識珍惜


公司就係酒店隔離, 我地先嘗試行去, 大約知道聽日要預幾多時間. 不過見到個close咗既細gate, 唔知呢度平日開唔開, 但放眼望去5分鐘路程內都無入口, 又大風, 我地只好放棄搜索.


星期日蓮絲自願同我地去store visit. 仲請我地食飯, 英國到處都係大減價. 蓮絲話英國生意差, 所以要大減價, 乜聖誕過後唔係減價時期嗎? 如果我有心買嘢, 應該都有收穫, 香港d 衫細細件, 我係度會容易買到嘢. 父親大人托買Clark. 我好快就選咗2對. 軼皮個對減到£34, Gore-tex 個對減到£59. 我記得上次幫老豆買好似£89. 店員都話好多中國人來買. 返到香港check無一樣樣, 價錢約HK$1300 - $1700. 早知就買多幾對返來香港賣!!!!


估唔到大家都有買禮物~

不過我只買咗俾英國同事, 我自己都有禮物呀! 佢地真係好~


亞美仲提我平時要收藏要包好, 唔係會氧化. 又學咗一樣嘢

原來北方新年有送中國繩既習慣

Kensington Gardens之(albert memorial) 

大頭蝦自己嚇自己

己經2年無去英國出差. 以前都係係天氣溫和既5月或9月過去. 以前就話想去睇下cologne個展, 或者順便stay behind睇musical 或探朋友. 宜家要係寒冷既一月去, 怕凍既我嘗試turn down失敗. 以前都有老闆同我一齊過去, 今次香港office 只有我一個人去. 我從不喜歡一個人踏上旅程. 這份不安卻把我變得笨笨的.


第一件傻事就係我去到機鐵站忽然發覺銀包無咗張身份證. 心諗係咪自己多手把身份證留在書台上. 望住1袋2袋行李, 都唔知點算好. 今次都己經少帶好多document, 都唔知點解個行李仲好重. 仲有一刻諗住自己今次真係唔駛出trip.


本來call 咗老豆返來車我, 亦擔心老豆找唔到地方掉頭, 跟住見到有的士就跳上車, 同老豆講返屋企等我. 在的士上我再搜一次銀包, 竟然俾我係八達通後面搵到張身份證. 我自己幾時咁擺一d印像都無. 嚇親老豆媽子, 真係唔好意思 同司機講調頭返機鐵站, 連司機都問我到底要去邊. 去到中環橋底有消防車阻路, 原來天橋上有垃圾桶焚燒, 都應該係煙頭引起, 害我本來不安的心情對前程更不安心. 好彩之前預多咗時間出機場, 去到check-in counter, 櫃台小姐話呢班機會準時起飛. 去到Munich 我只有半個鐘轉機, Travel agent 話如果搭下一班機要俾貴d.


第2件傻事就係我係Munich 轉機時, 只記得放下背包過x光, 見靚仔海關哥哥無開輸送帶, 心諗佢係咪要睇埋Boarding pass, 同佢你眼望我眼, 最後佢提我仲有個斜mee 袋, 仲要除埋大褸過x光. 大褸都要除好嚴格, 不過斜mee 袋都唔記得, 我真係傻咗啦


今次怕悶仲帶埋laptop 過去. 係香港機場又買咗Dan Brown 既Angels & Demons, 原來宜家連laptop 都要拿出來放在膠箱過x光. 有位海關哥哥仲問有無腰 belt, 過關要check 既嘢越來越多
