Carole loves to get out in the fresh air so we spent the time wandering around the large Bold Venture Park in nearby Darwen where we did some geocaching and also drove up onto Rivington Moors and did some tramping on the former estate of Lord Leverhulme.
I also had to defend the Aussie honor and cook a BBQ feast. I looked like Capt Ahab in my yellow ski jacket with the hood up and the wind and rain lashing down. The sensor light kept going off and my hastily constructed wind break kept blowing over. We got there in the end and washed it down with a bunch of lagers.
Carole also took the opportunity to visit her Grandparents grave and with the help of Louis gave it a bit of a spruce up as she likes to do each trip. We then went and had a look at the home where her Dad grew up and also at his school.
Off to Manchester Airport Travel Lodge to return the car and be handy for the next morning's early flight to Lapland for a week skiing, visiting Santa and eating reindeer..not his reindeer obviously, since they're getting on & likely a bit tough and chewy.
