Perfect day

Been out eight hours today. Great weather, great company, great roads. Spike and I took a meandering route, through Standish to Orrell, Bickerstaffe, Aughton, Formby and to our destination - Crosby, where we paid a visit to Critch, Emily & their two great kids, Grace & Freya. Critch gave me a Womble - Stepney, to be precise :o) Cheers mate!

After stuffing ourselves with pizza and potato wedges, we set off towards Southport, where we stopped to admire the lack of sea, and have a cup of tea and a cake.


















We then set off again, through Tarleton, Holmeswood, Rufford and Parbold, before heading up through Haigh to sit up on Rivington Moor to watch the sun go down. We did about 100 miles on the round trip, and no-one tried to kill us!

We're now sat in front of the telly, watching some programme about Glastonbury, with some chilled white wine and a big bag of Maltesers :o)

All in all, it's been a bloody nice day.
