Weekend away in
Lancashire.
At home we had heavy rain
on Thursday, so I decided to finish work early, which meant that we arrived at our
site at Affetside, near Bury in Lancashire when the sun was shining, and we had a lovely view as we had our dinner, next we went to try and see the
landowner, but got no response at the doors. Upon returning to the field we
were confronted by a young calf that had escaped from the next field thus we
spent the next 20 minutes getting her back though the fence and then repairing
it. Then Paul (the site owner) came and said “Oh it`s you, I thought it was the
Farmer.” We had a very loose arrangement as to fees for camping there, so this
sort of thing was quite `normal`. The fact that it ALWAYS rains when
we go there is also normal, in fact this is the only place I know that as bogs
on top of the hill.
