What a great place to stay the night before the Manchester marathon! Very warm welcome, with tea and Kitty's excellent coffee cake. Then we all had fun watching the Grand national, although unfortunately not repeating 2010's famous success!

And the comfy bed, good night's sleep and hospitality helped me to achieve a new personal best on race day...what a perfect way to finish the weekend!

Thanks a lot Kathryn and family, hope to see you again....maybe same time next year...
