T stands for Torrential rain!!

I have missed having T with Elizabeth and Bleubeard and the weekly T Stands For Tuesday gang. Things were a bit rushed last week as we planned on going up to our caravan on Wednesday afternoon after picking GD up from school1 
We had a very relaxing time despite rain every day! We met up with friends, Jo of Jozart blog and her hubby Dave and had a great visit to Farfield Mill.

The weather didn't bother us and we sat and drank coffee and had lunch before having a look around the mill

the menfolk sat and watched a DVD..and chatted!

On the way home we saw that the mountains were disappearing in the mist.

The rest of the time we read a lot, watched some films that we had been trying to find time to watch for ages and had a quick trip into Morecambe.
By the time we had found what we wanted in the shops(dodging the rain on the way)we realised that we wouldn't get home in time for lunch - Oh Dear! Could we stand a lunch at the Rotunda at the Midland Hotel? Ha! ha! of course we could! See here and here for information about this iconic hotel

You would like to see wouldn't you?

Our hot drinks arrived first

Hubby poured you a tea, with 'that' look on his face!!! I had a naughty Mocha(have I told you they make THE best!!)
Then our matching lunches arrived...

……Beer battered fish goujons in a brioche bun, fries, coleslaw and tartare sauce.
We looked outside at the rainy view...

…and tucked in! Calories don't count if it's raining outside - right!?!?!

On the way home we couldn't see the caravan site down the hill

The crag had almost disappeared

The tree up the road looked great from the car window

It was then I saw this small group of starlings swooping around in the sky - heading for the wires and the pylon - a few minutes later they were off and heading for the reed beds at Leighton Moss

On Saturday we had more rain but a little bit of brightness just before dark….

…and on Sunday we had a little rain in the morning and on the way home it POURED!!!!

We are planning on having a bit of time at home, catching up on appointments(both of us) painting the rest of the doors in the hallway, and having some local walks(one of which was this afternoon - I'll try to show you tomorrow - the river is very high after all the rain). Of course, I will be trying to catch up with my blog visiting and having some crafty time too!

Thank you for all of your kind comments, and for visiting me today too, Chris
