When they all arrived on Sunday afternoon we set off to Morecambe for a walk along the promenade! It was quite warm but dull but we were able to talk and catch up!

There is an installation that shows and names the mountains you can see in the distance! We can see the other side of Warton Crag from our caravan |

I sneaked through a car park and laid in wait to get this photo of my usually reluctant subjects!! |

You may remember me telling you about the 3 storey house we liked the look of - this would have been our view! |

Walls are for walking along at the seaside aren't they? |
The next day we had a plan to visit Acorn Bank and then found that there were owls at the Rheged centre for the day - as it is only a slight detour we decided to call there for lunch and a little look at the owls and the fabulous print exhibition that was on(I had already been once, but definitely with a second visit)
My GD had her face painted by a very talented lady…..
…and we set off for Acorn Bank, which is a National Trust property near Penrith.
We had been before a couple of years ago in the early Spring when the woods are carpeted in snowdrops. This time there was a Halloween Trail that we enjoyed following.
I will try to let you wander along without words!
The end of the trail - we had to go inside to find the little girl's Teddy Bear
After a quick visit to the Tea Room (more another day!!)we set off in a different direction to visit the fairy walk and the mill.

This stream led to the water mill |
…and watched the moon rise on our way back down the motorway.
I'll be back with day 3 another time!
Thanks for looking, Chris
