1. Continuing with the Heritage Open Weekend events, we join a walking tour of Manningham. John grew up nearby (with the tour guides as neighbours in fact) but had no idea about the secret squares and wonderful histories of buildings hiding in plain sight.
2. The walk starts at Lister’s Mill, high on the hill, and afterwards, we go down to Lister’s old house – Cartwright Hall in what is now Lister Park – for the World Curry Festival. We pass stall after stall of possibilities but are most tempted by the giant curved pans rimmed with colourful ingredients: naans, topped with meat (& paneer) and veggies – delicious.
2b. Her mum and I enjoy the little girl waiting at the candy floss machine. She dances in the escaping swirls and laughs as it gets caught up in just everything.
2c. The candy floss which we eventually get is super sticky but lovely – mine is lightly vanilla while John’s is a sweet coconut.
3. Z gets the joke I’m badly making about Australia being upside-down.
