The days are now getting criminally short and grey, not exactly solar panel friendly. I didn’t fancy being in the house all day, watching the grim weather go by, there’ll be time enough and more for that. So after a bit of thinking I decided on Grange over Sands as a suitable place to spend a couple of hours. I landed up at Lancaster with an hour to spare for […]
Well I never, there’s a big yellow thing in the sky, I think it’s called the sun. It’s been a while since I last saw it in these parts.
