.....and back on the road again!'
A couple of days ago we drove to Life's, the Morgan dealer in Southport, Lancashire to collect our repaired car.
What a joy it was to get her back although we emerged from their office a few hundred 'quid' the poorer!......ah well, such is life and owning any car, never mind a Morgan.

A quick clean and 'Nellie' was ready for our next trip.

For the last few days Britain, along with most of Europe has been sweltering in record breaking temperatures, hot enough to put off the keenest Morgan driver so we decided to wait until there was a slight reduction in the temperature before we ventured off for another drive....no air conditioning in Morgans!!

This morning was ideal so we set off for another pootle around the Bleasdale Fells an area just half an hour away from home.

Picnic at Dunsop Bridge

All was well with our new aluminium performance radiator, but sadly the potholes remained the same causing massive shocks to the Morgan's antiquated front suspension,
We did find some quiet stretches of road, free from aggressive white vans and tailgaters and on one occasion we were almost overtaken by a cyclist!

| Reflections! |
Our ultimate destination was the inn in Slaidburn, named the 'Hark to Bounty', a very pleasant establishment indeed where we savoured a welcome beer.

Cloud rolled in during the afternoon, causing us to wonder whether or not it would continue and blight our proposed BBQ this evening. Touch wood! I think that the sun will return.
Regardless, I do believe that we will avoid the blizzard that has caused 1 of today's stages of the 'Tour de France' to be cancelled!!
