What
a glorious weekend, Nikita came to stay plus it was so warm and
sunny. Saturday we popped into Rose Bud Bakery, the home of Fiddlers
Lancashire crisps to get some nibbles for our stroll around Mere
Sands Woods. The woods are a conservation area with lakes formed
from sand extraction in the past. There is a lovely hide overlooking
one of the lakes, however we only saw mallards. In the afternoon we
sat out, Nikita in her favourite spot on the roof and me on a chair
doing some knitting.
Sunday
the rest of Nikita’s family arrived for a quick lunch and then we
all headed off to Southport for the turning on of the Christmas
lights. Ada & Dale met us there too. There was a stage with a
huge screen over, so those of us at the back could see what was going
on. The cast of this year’s panto (Beauty & the Beast) did a
few jokes and songs. Heather, Ada & Nikita know Toni who is
playing Beauty in the panto as she helped my niece Alice do their
make up for Ada’s wedding earlier in the year. Plus, there were
some singers from the 1990’s performing, 911 and S Club 7 (only 3
of them though!!!).
Today
we had booked to go to Liverpool to donate blood, however, the rail
replacement bus failed to turn up so we had to phone to cancel and
re-book for another day. So today we’ll be able to tick off some
boat jobs. We’ve had the shower doors off to fit new runners and
give them a good old clean as they’ve accumulated a good bit of
limescale while we were in the south.
