The Meandering Lakelander Returns

Glad your trip went well Vince, and it is good to see you back safe and sound!

I look forward to lots of pics of Lakeland pics on POE soon!! 

Final update until the next visit (which cannot come soon enough)

Was away from the cottage about 6.50, dropped the key in the post, then topped up with petrol just before Windermere, couldn't be bothered to take the detour to Kendal. Very uneventful run home. Managed to avoid a huge delay by an accident somewhere round Manchester was able to cut off onto the slip road and as the accident was right under the intersection just dropped back onto the motorway beyond the accident, very crafty I thought. The only real delay was a few miles further on with a 15 mile section of road works at an ' average speed camera' controlled 50 mph, and nothing frustrates me more on a motorway.....but after that it was clog down and get moving again. Picked the catup from her holiday home around 10.00 and was back home a bit before 1030. So all in all a really good run. Case unpacked and washing that had been done prior to leaving put out for ironing and a few bits put in the washer. Wet boots were repacked with papera nd left to dry. Really need to get a better apir for next visit. Everything was sorted with in an hour so on with a CD or 2 and get the ironing out of the way. Washing put on line and forgotten about for an hour or so. Had an hours sit down with the cat and a coffee and got caught up with a magazine or two. Watched the last hour of the Tour of Britain and then decided to transfer all the photos taken from the laptop to the PC. That took ages but having looked at then again on a decent screen I think there may may a few worth uploading despite the weather. Gave up about 9pm and went down to watch Last of the Summer Wine.

Even some of the photos taken in the rain and wind look reasonable. Just got to find time now to go through them properly and decide what I shall upload. So keep your eyes peeled over the next week or so. I do have other things to do as well. As I said to Vince when we met POE is so addictive a lot of other tasks get leftbehind. Suppose i ought to manage my time better.
