We had a trip to Glasson Dock (Sun 9/11) and things didn't go quite to plan.
The Plan
Bacon butties and tea, at the dockside caravan/cafe followed by a trip to the Smokehouse for some provisions.

Reality
When we arrived at Glasson it appeared to be closed, there were a few people around but not many. The much anticipated bacon butties were not to be had as the caravan was all closed up and deserted. With rumbling bellies we went to the Smokehouse and stocked up with some fine produce. Game stew(smoked of course), chicken breasts (also smoked), garlic (yes smoked) and a few other bits and pieces(yes they were too).

The weather was a bit dreary so Glasson Dock was not seen at it's best. The mood was not made any better because we were now hungry.

Plan B
Driving back into Lancaster I had a brainwave, bacon butties - Devil's Bridge at Kirby Lonsdale, no wait there is a nearer option, Crock 'o' Lune.
So in the end we ate bacon butties at the Crock 'o' Lune, stood huddled together, under the canopy to keep the rain off us, with some complete strangers including the guy who plays Kevin's Dad in Corrie.

I must have a look at The Smokehouse. It sounds interesting.

It had two wheels and a seat, plus some other stuff.

Scun Thorpe: What kind of a moron are you, lee thorpe? Are you entirely incapable of elementary English? Jun 26, 2014 18:51:35 GMT

Scun Thorpe: I thought this forum would be of interest. Obviously, a silly idea: allowing the cerebrally challenged to come on here and post complete gibberish is exactly what to do if you're looking to shut down something that may have been of interest. Jun 26, 2014 18:53:35 GMT

WendyW: Evening all

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck Jul 21, 2016 19:25:27 GMT

WendyW: As we walked away from the burning boat we walked past the Hotel, which had big stone balls on the towers, the lightening struck just as we walked past. I have a very healthy respect of thunderstorms.
