Roaming Rivington

Good nights sleep, earlier to bed as there was nothing in the tele ;-)

Lovely sunshiney day, so a day out for us.
A quick call into the car dealership to finalise a minor detail, then onward to Rivngton for walkies.

It was quite busy as the schools are still off, the car park we use is a bit off the beaten track, not as busy! We had wondered en route how much surface water there might be after yesterday's deluge.........there was running water down the paths and some hefty puddles, but we were prepared ;-)

Once we got going we had a thoroughly enjoyable few hours, mainly uphill, but gradual and we did finally get up to the Pike too :-)

When we came back down, we treated ourselves to a Calipo from the icecream van then drove back to a local hostelry where we had a Ploughmans and a lager shady....which we were more than ready for as it was almost 3pm :-) we'd done more than our 10,000 steps for today too ;-)

Back home, a few hours pottering in the garden, the rain has battered the baskets and pots, most of the lovely begonias have dropped their flowers :-( I actually sat and read for an hour or so too, not,something I usually do at home, only on holiday ;-)

It's now 9pm, we've just watched location location location, one of the featured couples just bought a house on our estate ;-)
Time for me to go into the kitchen to find something for supper......mmmmm I wonder what we can have???

The blip is one of many shots I took today whilst roaming....a lovely day :-)
