A quick trip to Carlisle this morning where I spotted this gorgeous horse chestnut in full flower, so couldn't resist blipping it.  Only had my phone with me though.  

Well my sister has arrived , she's calling herself a VIP visitor!!  She's perked up now after a long drive on the M6 which was stop, start, stop, start!  Tomorrow we are off on our travels :)  Better go and do some packing.  Probably not going to be commenting whilst she is here, way too much time talking.
