So the morning after my arrival in Morecambe with an uninvited guest by the name of Bert. Yes the stormy one. I had plans to go to the always entertaining Dickensian Christmas Festival in Ulverston, yes the Dickfest, however Bert had other plans. My plan was to travel up to Morecambe, check into my B&B and then carry on to Ulverston, enjoy the Victorian jollities the head back down to […]
