A day out?

I'm up early yet again.  I've clearly not yet adjusted to the change of hour.

It's a grey day, but at least so far it is dry. If it continues like this we're hoping to go off for that long drive in the new car. 

The Fox could do with some new woollies before we go off to a potentially freezing Amsterdam in December. From our university days at Hull, we remember only too well how cold the winds can be when they blow from the east in winter. We suspect Amsterdam will be as bad.

Morecambe is a terrible place for clothes shopping, especially for men. Most of the shops sell cheap tat. A couple of shops sell seconds but sometimes they can be very definitely seconds. 

We were thinking of going off towards Preston or Blackpool but access to the motorway or the A6 south is via Lancaster, & that is a bit of a nightmare at the moment due to sewer works digging up half the roads. 

We're contemplating instead a trip up to Kendal, or even the Lakes, somewhere like Bowness, Ambleside, Grasmere or Hawkshead. We've yet to decide. Meanwhile I just hope it continues overcast but dry. I don't fancy a shop in rain, or even a long drive in rain.
