....Another lovely picnic in one of our favourite spots by a tributary of the RiverWyre which the Duke of Westminster kindly allows us to enjoy in the Forest of Bowland.
The day dawned cloudy, totally the opposite of what the Met. Office had predicted which shattered the plans we had made the night before for a drive into the Yorkshire Dales.
Anyway, after another look at the forecast it looked as though the weather would improve in the late morning, which amazingly turned out to be correct.
So, although Yorkshire was out of the question we directed our plans to a drive into the Bleasdale Fells.
Two yummy pork pies, a nice bottle of Provencal rose, two Eccles cakes, a flask of tea and a newspaper were loaded into the Mog and away we went, into what turned out to be glorious sunshine.
I suppose it is somewhat tedious to mention yet again the condition of many of Britain's roads, the state of which can be only experienced and appreciated fully in a Morgan or a Model T Ford! As I have said before I should invite the CEO of Lancashire County Council to join me in enjoying the ghastly potholes that we endure every time we venture out!!!
But I don't think that we will allow a few potholes to stop us!
