Back In Macclesfield

At the end of the road

The last stop (August 6th 2015) on the roadtrip was back in Macclesfield, where we set off too. We left Champneys after lunch time and arrived in Macclesfield just before dinner time. I remember we were trying to listen to a live stream of a new game announcement in the car as we arrived at the hotel. We only just checked in before we left again for this lovely restaurant “The Swan Inn”. This was the last day of the roadtrip, I went back home the day after.

However, before going back on the 7th Matt and I went to a really big mall just outside Manchester called “The Trafford Centre” where I got a few bits and bobs. Afterwards Matt dropped me off at the airport and drove back home to Bollington again. However, we missed each other a lot already so he ended up buying a ticket for himself and asking his dad to drive him back to the airport. He then semi-surprised me at the airport, I really didn’t think he would do that, but suddenly I saw him walking in front of me at Manchester Airport. It was such a romantic gesture❤️

I had such a wonderful time. It was two incredibly good weeks of experiencing so many new things, trying new food, hanging out with Matt and enjoying the moment. It was something I really needed. I was so very lost. Richard (my previous boyfriend) had passed only a few months ago and I was restless. I couldn’t find peace. I wasn’t in a good place. But I think I found some form of calmness in travelling. I know it helped. It was exhausting and thrilling to see all these new places. We were basically in a new town everyday. It was wonderful to travel around England, to create new experiences and memories. I am very grateful to have gotten the chance to do just that; live.
