Friday saw us visiting Laura's Aunt and Uncle in Hest Bank near Morecambe. Their house is almost alongside the Lancaster Canal so we all took a walk along the towpath for an hour or so. The canal here has some splendid views across Morecambe bay over towards the lakes, sadly we neglected to pick up the camera so no shots of our stoll.
There were a couple of boats moored up around Hest Bank visitor moorings, the most unusual of which was a narrowboat with a Turf roof. Im not quite sure of the advantages or disadvantages of having your roof covered in grass but it was certainly a talking point.
That evening we drove down to Blackpool and joined the line of traffic to view the Illuminations.
Lilian as expected slept through them so missed the attraction. Laura did some videoing so at least she'll be able to see them when she is older.
Today we will be tidying up the caravan and packing ready for the long journey home tomorrow morning.

LOL Geoff, your flash photo there is quite interesting all the same. Shame you didn't get a pic of that turf roof though. That must have been something to see! Glad you've enjoyed your honeymoon week. Have a safe journey home!
By the way, have you got wiFi in the caravan? Or is it because you've been on holiday that we've had the pleasure of so many posts??
PS, we hooked up with the Wandering Snail a couple of months back, and have now become firm friends! All thanks to your blog about Ostend ;)
Hi val, Glad you managed to link up with wandering snail.
When we are out and about cruising or otherwise we use a T-mobile web'n'walk Dongle which gives us mobile broadband providing we get a good signal that is
hi, I loved your honeymoon pictures. I was born beneath the shadows of Pendle Hill and when we bought our boat for moring at the new Reedley Marina I choose the berth about as far away from the facilities a could be only because we would always have a view of Pendle. I'm glad you enjoyed our beautiful county.
