Jam and Soup

Today we set off for the Lake District. We picked up R - a friend of Pheebs - on the way and I had a chat with her dad about the worst thing to happen on a long journey is to head straight into a traffic jam......

Bugger. It's a bit of a grainy shaky picture of a traffic jam on Barton bridge. Took us over an hour to get from West Didsbury to the start of the M61.

Anyway, we're here in Ennerdale - through some lovely if slightly alarming fog patches - with a beautiful clear sky. Stars as fas as the eye can see.

What is much more impressive is that my industrial quantity of Leek and Potato soup survived the journey. Thank you duct tape.

I wonder if we'll actually be able to get in it...........you'll have to wait.
