I Dream Of Pies: Afflecks Palace

Afflecks Palace

Saturday saw the Pie Tribe head to Manchester for a birthday treat for Pie Daughter No 1. The destination was Afflecks Palace in Manchester. A departmental store /emporium with a variety of shops dedicated to fashion (of a kind!).

A great time was had, particularly by the female contingent of the Pie Tribe. The excitement over this trip was too much for some members of the Pie Tribe who fell asleep en route!!!

So much time was spent inside that there was not much time to visit anywhere else. Birthday girl enjoyed herself enormously and Princess Pie even managed to buy some bright pink eye shadow, PINK Power!!
