Time to say goodbye

Manchester - well worth a visit! Picture: Shutterstock

Today I conducted my last walking tour.  I've offered them for the past couple of years and have had the great pleasure of showing hundreds of Canadians, New Zealanders, Irish, British and Australian fans around Manchester pointing out many of the Corrie links to the city centre and to Salford.  I want to thank every one of you - and also all the Corrie cast members we've bumped into along the way - each one has spent a few minutes chatting with my guests.

Increasing non-Corrie business committments mean that I simply no longer have the time to devote to the tours - so I'm putting away my Weatherfield Recorder for good.

This year will also be my last as guide for the Kemptville Travel tour from Canada - again, I've had a very happy dozen years working with them and I thank them and all the people I've met during those years.

The only tours I'll be doing from now on are one day coach ones - but only every so often and I'll post details as and when I get them on this blog.
