I had an 8 hour lay over in Manchester overnight originally had thought Id sleep (or try!) In the airport with the uncertainties of flights etc. But more last minute decided to book into Marie's place based on the positive reviews. Marie went over and above to help me out when I ended up have a much shorter time to rest my head in her place - she ordered the taxi for me and took me to a local ATM to get cash (twice! My tired fault!) all AT MIDNIGHT (yet getting up for work the next day!). She's amazing. I just felt sad i couldnt chat longer and chat more- a very fleeting visit this time. Even with that though - that bed! It was honestly like heaven! I know I was exhausted but it was literally dreamy! And a little plate of goodies to enjoy too. Marie's little dog was there but Marie had been very thoughtful and kept her upstairs as she had thought after lots of delays, I may not want a dog being very excited! While I really like dogs, she was right!
So grateful for such a lovely host and look forward to coming back for a cuppa and chat next time!!
