My British Network |
...which I think consists of two people.
About 2 or 3 weeks ago I purchased plane tickets. I fly into Manchester on November 10th and leave from there on the 17th. In between there falls the momentous occasion of my 30th birthday.
So with the way everything worked out, it looks like this is going to be a solo trip. I'd like to kind of do a literary journey and visit the Bronte house, Jane Austen's house (does this exist?), etc. But I'm entirely open to ideas. I've got 10 days to kill and I need help.
I need cheap places to stay and cheap/free/ or pricey but extremely interesting places to visit. They don't need to be in the Manchester area.
Suggestions please...Pash, Coffee Lover, I'm a talkin' to YOU specifically and anyone else who has any good ideas. I know my bloggers won't let me down. |

Gosh, I'd go with you and share the cost of rooms if I could afford to go/had someone to watch the kid while hubby worked. I hope you plan a fun itinerary and make it memorable for yourself!

Oooohh...I'm half-tempted to see if I can join you:) I'm pretty sure Austen's house is still around, as well as the many that have been featured in the film adaptations. Where is Manchester in relation to London?

That sounds so cool and I can't wait to hear of all the place you will go :)

I vote for the British Bibrary. It's free, and it has lots of interesting literary things on display in the gallery. For example, the original Jane Austen's History of England, complete with her sister's drawings. It's open to the page about Mary Queen of Scots
