Super Sunny Weekend

Stone Jetty

Wow, we had a super sunny weekend - it was cold, but not too cold, the sky blue and not a whisper of a breeze.  We had to make the most of it...

Looking good in the sun!

Saturday after football we headed out and had lunch at Archers Cafe - the place was empty?!  Very strange as it is never empty, you always have to queue!  Must be that people have started Christmas shopping!  Oh well, it was to our advantage. so we decided to eat big - very delicious it was too, always good food there.


We then drove to Morecambe, parked up at the bottom of the prom and went for a walk up to the stone jetty - the light was beautiful so Matt was busy snapping away.  Certainly a glorious day and it lifted all our souls.

Sunday we headed to Grange-over-Sands for the day as I wanted to take Matt on a walk Tom and I did with Steph and co a while ago to The Hospice (a stone tower with fire grate etc for lost, weary walkers).  You get great views from up there and I knew Matt would enjoy it.  I was right - once again he was snapping away, because, again it was a wondrous clear day, we could see for miles.  We spent a while up there, before heading back to the village, having lunch in the Hazelmere cafe.

We were all in need of something sweet - so I had a crumble, Tom had a huge mince pie and Matt had 2, yes 2 cakes!  We then went for a stroll along the prom so the boys could see some trains before heading home.

Next on the agenda was to go to Kingsdale at 6pm to see the ISS pass over us.  Matt wanted to take an arty photo of it.  Tom and I went for the ride.  We saw it and Matt got a decent photo of it.  However, it was cold, so we were all very happy to return home to a good hearty stew.
