I didn't get around to downloading all my Christmas photos 'til now, so must say a belated and big thank you to lovely Didsbury based company Lollicakes for a) running a festive competition to win a family full of chocolate treats and b) for picking my sister to win them! AS you can probably tell from... Continue Reading →
Moregeous luxury 2 bed rental apartment, with images
Had an email from the couple who currently rent this featured apartment to say that they're buying a property so will be moving out in a month.
