We awoke early this morning as Thomas had to be away early for work. Fortunately the toilet and shower block was open again, sadly not before the 'on board' facilities had been pressed into full service! Although gloomy and with some drizzle in the air, the weather is brighter than yesterday so there is optimism in the team, especially as we half expected the site to close if the water situation hadn't resolved itself. Once Thomas had left we had our breakfast and then I set to to empty, clean and reprime the toilet and empty the waste water while Heather topped up the water barrel. While doing this it was good to note the busy bird life: yaffling green woodpecker, several calling chiffchaffs and a pair of mistle thrushes carrying food. Thomas has reported that the weather is better further south so we are about to head to Lancaster to visit the castle.
We enjoyed a very pleasant day in Lancaster. Despite the castle not being open we were able to get lunch at Atkinson's within the precincts and then we visited the Priory. We found the park and ride here to be excellent. On our way home we called in at Sizergh Farm shop for some cheese and wine which we enjoyed for our supper.
