On the eleventh of April I headed across to Manchester to meet up at Slattery's Patisserie with my friend Amy. She first took me there over a decade ago and we still love to go, so we booked it. I set off nice and early because I can never be sure of the traffic to Manchester, but then I ended up getting there about 11.30 and I managed to get a space in the tiny car park too. Lee had asked me to take him home some bread and some chocolate fudge cake, so I went into the shop first to get those. I also got a little vanilla sponge cake with icing. They're thirteen pounds each so not super cheap, but I was tempted last time I went so decided to get one this time. I had some for tea and it was delicious! I'm glad I bought it.
I headed upstairs and sat for a little bit in the waiting area because I was a little bit early. Our table was booked for twelve so I went in for then and Amy arrived not long after me. The food at Slatterys is amazing but they don't have a ton of vegetarian choices, so I end up usually getting the same thing. I had the doorstep rarebit with garlic mushrooms on top, and a hot chocolate which is my fave. I genuinely did waver on what to have for pudding but went with the marshmallow and strawberry dippers. I only ate half so I brought the rest home!
Amy needed to leave at about 2.30 so we said goodbye and then I drove home. I went and came back on the M62 even though I hate it because it was quicker. Our new car is a joy to drive though so that's one thing! I was wearing my rainbow tartan dress because I wanted to wear something bright. I was also wearing teal footless tights from Snag and these gorgeous patent boots. It really wasn't boot weather by then - it was twenty degrees when I was driving back - but they're so pretty that I will eke them out a bit longer!
Amy is currently expecting her third child, due in just a few weeks!
