Manchester Christmas market

So now onto our very cold, but very lovely day out in Manchester.
Will and I made our way to our favourite Manchester haunts for a day of shopping, tea and lots of food! Our first stop was Home Sweet Home, the best cafe in Manchester, one of those little haunts that have the most interesting walls, with everything from bicycles to plant pots and the occasional motivational quote (and boy do I love a good motivational quote), and of course they make the best breakfast and cakes EVER...FACT!
We then pottered around the trendy Northern Quarter, an area of Manchester filled to the brim with vintage and one off goodies. The Northern Quarter is always the place I recommend to anyone planning to visit Manchester, theres just so much to look at, such a quirky and eclectic place.

Lunch time called and we headed over to Oast House, an amazing thatched roofed building in Manchester's Spinningfields, a fairly new addition to the centre of Manchester. At this time of year the Oast house is pretty darn special with their Christmas teepee residing outside. Lit by fairy-lights and an open log fire it is the perfect place to refuel with a mulled cider and of course one of their hanging kebabs; mine halloumi, Will's steak, drizzled with garlic butter on a bed of chips, it really is just scrummy!
