Who's the man in the hat that's stealing my photograph. Bastard!

Carl claims sitting on the fire-hydrant was the most luck he had all evening.
 
I pulled some dodgy cartoon character.

11am. Departure time. And not a soul to be found. Not even a porter (I wonder where HE got to, Carl/Kyle/Tim?)

...and the sun rose and the birds began to sing. But the party didn't stop when Canal Street closed. The pictures we haven't got include Keiran propping up the hotel front desk for a few hours, Richie getting an unexpected visitor at 5am and Kyle claiming to be walking back to the hotel...

It was the very best birthday weekend anyone could hope for. Lots and lots of lovely people all in one place at one time, a gorgeous hotel, a lovely meal, and a Canal Street to explore.

And just when you thought it was safe to peer out from under your comfortable bed... Keiran organised an urgent message to be phoned around all the rooms, "Sam's waiting in the lobby with the bus-driver". Well. That really got everyone moving...

The party continues... Sunday morning was a bit of a strain with only about 10% of the party showing up for breakfast, but by the time Canal Street warmed up at 2ish the group was out in force. Alcohol began to flow freely again, and by 5 even I'd forgotten how little sleep I'd had.

Yes I know it was a bit early to be setting off from St.Peter's Church, but at least it meant getting to Manchester before midnight... And what better excuse do you need to scoff croissants and drink Champagne at 8 in the morning?
