The early part of the morning was spent quickly doing last minute tasks, ensuring we were packed and the house was in order. Tricia’s Dad, aka Grampy, turned up at about 8:40, and we left for MK station just after 9. We were at the station in plenty of time… well, enough time for acquiring a flat white, and then we were onto platform 6, and onto the Glasgow train. We arrived in Lancaster on time, and left the train, and waited for the Barrow train which arrived a few minutes later. This was a lovely train ride… beautiful scenery, old railway stations, with Victorian station houses. At Barrow we had a very quick change… 3 minutes to pick up the next train on another platform, but that was fine. This was the last leg of the journey for now, arriving in Millom, where Lesley picked us up from the station.

We enjoyed a relaxed early evening with Les, Les, Chris and Hannah. Didn’t see much of Dan as he was playing tennis. We watched a dull game…. Belgium beating England 1-0. And then it was a relatively early night.
