    Good news indeed on the MOT 👍 Sounds like a lovely weekend in the Lakes on the horizon 😎 I’ve never been to the lakes, got close one year when Mr SA was well, we’d booked to go for a long weekend but bad snow was forecast so we had to cancel. The hotel was disappointed as they’d been a bit excited at me going there because of my surname (I’ll say no more).

    Ha I like that story your surname would be very apt for the Lake District . If you get the chance to go I think you would enjoy it , you would definitely get plenty of steps in doing a few wainwright's .

    I never used to be a fan of the Lake District - - I’d had too many wet days with not much to do as a child......but rediscovered it again a few years ago and it won me over. I love it now.
    Have a lovely time with gks 👍

    Fab about the MOT. That must have been a relief. I always spend the day panicking x

  • Have done a spot of dog sitting overnight , was out walking the dog at 6.00@m this morning, we only passed one person. Plenty of cars going past though. Over 5,000 steps by 7am so that's a good start to the day. Finish work today for a week or so, childminding the GKs next week. Hoping to get out and about to local coastal places hoping not be inside as want to stay away from crowds.
