@GaryUsher_ @ShakespeareNP @PINIONbistro So happy this plan came together xx

[Christine Cort @cceileen]

@manairport one of the worst in world, feel disloyal for saying! Barca flight gate 6, oh no that's Belfast. Go back to lounge we all figure - no one tells us. Final call for gate 31. Families, the elderly all dash to the other side. Not me. No plane there either. Keep guessing.

[Christine Cort @cceileen]

A joy to be listed with such good company, thank you and cc@friends is beginning and already working with some amazing women.

What a pleasure helping judge The Lancashire Tourism Awards #LTA21 and at Blackburn Rovers too. This is one amazing county.

[Christine Cort @cceileen]

@AjFOH @parkersarms Looks gorgeous - love Parkers all the time but especially at Xmas xx

[Christine Cort @cceileen]

I could make something beautiful happen that we'd be proud of. Visitors would still pour in and Manchester residents would embrace. Thought it for years.

@chefvally @mcrconfidential @GordoManchester @ManCityCouncil It could be done however it’s a big jump from the formulaic operation that is so well established taking a smaller section and creating crafting and growing something really great and international in Manchester is possible look what @MIFestival @cceileen did

[Christine Cort @cceileen]

@ManCityCouncil @RahmanCllr @annabelvtiffin @bmstores @HOME_mcr @Keke_Thom @CastlefieldGall @TomBloxhamMBE @juliehes @MEAcad Thank you so much. An honour to help begin @MIFestival and thank you @ManCityCouncil for having exceptional people who were incredibly supportive on the journey. Couldn't have done it without them.
