The beginning of a fortnight at the caravan. Mia delivery and packing went well. The weather became increasingly worse as the day went on and the journey to Beth's was horrendous: heavy rain and spray made driving conditions difficult.
We had a lovely evening with Beth and Ale but Tuesday dawned wet yet again. However, as we crossed the Pennines the rain eased and then stopped. By the time we arrived at Ashes lane the sun came out. We called in at the fine farm shop and cafe at Plumgarths and visited Lovingly Artisan for some bread. Their sourdough starter is 40 years old and, as they give it away, we planned to call in on the way home and collect some. Once set up and established we went for a preprandial amble - mgreen woodpecker, long tailed tit and robins. Robins have started their winter song.
