What a difference a year makes

This time last year I saw my first DeLorean in real life at the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show in Didsbury Park.

DeLoreans are like buses - you wait over 30 years to see one and then get to see two at the same time

If only I had a time machine to go back to then - or forward to after the pandemic.

One of the last times we travelled anywhere outside of Stockport was to see a Back to the Future time machine DeLorean at Media City in Salford back on the 13th March.

What a car!

Blade in the place, Didsbury

Spotting the Blade barber shop in Didsbury, Manchester.


We spotted Blade Brown barbers while having a wander last week.

I wasn't familiar with this shop before last week. A sign I need a haircut perhaps...

We recently saw the Resident Needle tattoo studio in Woodley, Stockport too.

Crazy Golf in Didsbury, Manchester

Spotting a missed opportunity to play Crazy Golf in Didsbury, Manchester.


While visiting the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show at Didsbury Park we spotted a banner for the Didsbury Family Fun Day that took place last week. There was a Crazy Golf course there!


Didsbury is only ten minutes from us as well. Typical that we missed out on playing a course on our doorstep!

Bender Bending Rodríguez on a park bench in Didsbury, Manchester

After visiting the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show at Didsbury Park on Sunday we went for a wander around Fletcher Moss Park.


There are some interesting benches there including this one.

There's a lot of intricate detail and for some reason Bender from Futurama is riding an owl on it!

We couldn't see a plaque on the bench or and info as to why he's depicted on it.

My first DeLorean

I finally ticked 'See a real life DeLorean' off of my bucket list.

Our friend Celine was showing off her car at the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show in Didsbury Park yesterday and as soon as she parked up let me know there were some DeLoreans there too.

What a sight!

I've wanted to see one in real life for ages, so it was typical I got to see two at the same time.


Next I need to drive one.
