An impromptu stopover at the Old Town Hall, and we had a chance to drop in on a concert - a free organ performance by some Russian organist performing Bach. The organ was this huge, entire rear wall covering unit, and had that large rounded sound. The average age of the audience was about 150! We didn't stay too long....... The town hall is a magnificent space, and curiously, I noticed that the large tubular handrails on the way up were brass on the left, and copper on the right! I tried to think of a reason for that, bt couldn't come up with any logical explanation, just the architect's whim?
Pierre at the Belgian Waffle.
I recommend the absolutely perfect ham & cheese baguette. They call it the Parisienne. Ooh La La. Plus this bizarre postcard tacked up on a shelf. The music playing was by 'Hot Chips'. Never heard of them, great music though.
We stopped for coffee at a well-known joint called Café Mediterraneum. It was in a great old building called Manchester Unity International Order of Oddfellows. MUIOO. Oddfellows Indeed!
A wrapup to the day with this warm fade out, view from Beaumaris/Black Rock.
