8th October, 2016...What Autumn Saturdays are made of...!

Instead of my weekly rant at and wrestle with the Dyson today (and as the SteveHillmanCamera has a day off) I broke with tradition and we had a sunny walk to Furness Abbey....which looked glorious in the Autumnal sunshine!

Talking of the SteveHillmanCamera, he's been gadding about quite a bit recently, and he found himself at Nutters restaurant in Rochdale last weekend, photographing a wedding.....

....which was lovely, until one of the poor guests walked into a plate glass window. This story was relayed to me when he got back at 11pm, and later he heard that the guest was okay apart from a spell in hospital getting scanned etc...oops....it all happens at weddings!

We took lots of kids and adults to the Motor Museum earlier this week, and they got to ride in Rosie, one of the vintage buses we hired from Classic Coaches....the kids loved it!

My poor colleague got the thin end of the wedge bus-ride wise....I stayed firmly planted at the museum!!


Yes...my Rosie had to come along for the ride! It is a fascinating place though...as well as all the vintage motors, it had lots about the 'Dolly blue' works that used to dominate the Backbarrow skyline, great displays about Donald Campbell (which the kids loved ) and all sorts of 'throwback' vintage displays, including bikes and other toys through the ages. It's well worth a visit, and Café Ambio is lovely too!






Can't keep junior boys away from sports cars though....Frankie was so jealous that he couldn't come with us!!!

He's hardly a junior now is he!!!!


Looking delightfully autumnal at Furness Abbey today......

...there are some beautiful locations around here aren't there....




...wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
