Today we had friends from near Cartmel coming to visit. For his 90th birthday we had promised Gordon an all day Breakfast but for various reasons we decided to do it at the van. The forecast was not good for later in the day: thunderstorms! The morning, however, was still warm and sunny so we relaxed outside reading and watching the clouds build up from the south east thinking "Shall we, shan't we fire up the barbie??". I had planned to cook most of the breakfast on the BBQ but at the last minute decided it was too much of a risk. Just as Anna and Gordon arrived it started to rain. To begin we tried to sit in our small porch awning but the decision was to retreat to the van. It rained; it rained apocalyptically and the site quickly flooded. A wise decision not to light the BBQ and the breakfast was successfully cooked in the oven mostly. A smashing afternoon catching up with old friends, though.
