?
A quick browse found little I really fancied, except a listing for the Midland Hotel Crowne Plaza ? well saves me the hassle of trying to get it listed, I set about getting myself a room there.
LOCATION
Adjacent to GMEX and the Manchester Conference centre, about 5 minutes walk from the tram hub at Piccadilly gardens, 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly and Oxford road train stations, it is about 5 minutes drive from Mancunian way, 10 minutes from the Arndale centre and 2 minutes from Granada studios ? in reality you couldn?t ask for anything more convenient. It is also about 2 minutes from china town, so if you fancy a change and don?t fancy eating in the hotel, there is plenty around to tickle your fancy from every combination of Chinese to Indian, to Italian to good old pizza hut and McDonalds, you really are spoilt for choice.
BOOKING ...
Advantages: A quick and easy read, dealing with slight mythical figures Disadvantages: paints a slightly sentimental view of Ireland
of Faeries. But instead of giving her words of love, and therefore showing her his heart, he offered her instead Jewels of the Sun, Tears of the Moon, and the Heart of the Sea. Gwen turned from him and so Carrick put the both of them under a curse, that the would not join again until love met love three times, and Jude and Aidan are only the start.
Jewels of the Sun is one of Nora Roberts' lighter reads, which doesn't use violence to make the book a page turner. Instead her characters, as always, are well drawn and it's the main protagonists evolvement through the book that keeps you interested. Jude's transformation from a woman when she first arrives in the village of low self esteem, unsure of who she is, what she should do in her life and still hurting from an unsuccessful marriage to one able to stand up for herself in either an argument ...
Advantages: Excellent facilities, comfortable rooms, convenient for the motorway network, good link with Heathrow Disadvantages: EXPENSIVE, bad planning on the bar for big events
There are lots of hotels to choose from in and around London Heathrow, so you may well ask why I elected to stay at the Crowne Plaza, which is off the main drag known as Bath Road, and certainly not the cheapest if my recent visit to the Marriott is anything to go by.
A friend was meant to be passing through London on his way back to the States the same night as I was anticipating an early morning flight to Madrid to visit my sister in law, and he was staying here. Plus, I get Priority Club points on my stays, and IC Hotels were offering an additional 1,000 points for stays booked and completed during February, thus the decision was made.

Includes liner notes by Julie Matthews, Steve Tilston, Maartin Allcock, Ben Bennion, Ralph McTell, Jez Lowe, Huw Williams, Ric Sanders, Rob Beattie and Clive Gregson. Remastered rerelease. This album marks Fairport Convention's return to the recording studio for their first new album in five years. With their line-up a decade strong (the longest grouping since the band formed in 1967), they come up with a stunning testament to the strengths that have endeared them to fans over the years. They also prove that they still thrive on playing as a band. JEWEL IN THE CROWN adheres to their now-standard mixture of centuries-old British Isle jigs and reels and contemporary rock. They scamper happily from traditional numbers to songs by such contemporary writers as Leonard Cohen, Ralph McTell, and Clive Gregson. Doing so seamlessly, and leaving its own formidable mark in the process, is this band's magic. It is the gift that positions Fairport Convention at the forefront of this tradition. Multi-instrumentalist Martin Allcock's "A Surfeit of Lampreys" is a gem that sums up their powers in a stunning way--it rocks hard with one foot in the '90s and another tapping away in a century long gone.
