I arranged to meet up with blogger Susie Stubbs (AKA @travelsavecbaba on Twitter) author of Travels with my Baby for lunch at the Cup in the Northern Quarter of Manchester during the Summer 09 UK Blogging Tour. It was while I was waiting for Suzy that I met Manchester poet Carol Batton, also a fan of Cup.

Susie started her blog around 20 months ago after the birth of her son, Milo, Travels with my Baby was winner of Blog of the Year and Best Personal Blog at the Manchester Blog Awards 2008.
