Sunny Lancashire

Saturday dawns in Preston with a drop of Lancashire sunshine,known in other counties as rain,Gina is at work and we are meeting her at Tesco just after 2pm when she finishes,yesterday afternoon we filled up at morrisons on the dock and with coupons from Gina paid 97.9 pence a litre for diesel,must be the cheapest in the UK,but an exorbitant price if you are American(about $7.50 a gallon).

It is strange to have no livestock to feed,and to walk 100yards to the paper shop,as opposed to a 6mile round trip,and the density of people is a novelty,we had considered a trip to Blackpool around 12 miles up the road,to see the lights which were switched on last night,though last year we went and were too late,they had switched them off,strangely we thought they were on all winter ,but not so,only a limited period.
