Dreich (again)

We had intended to pop over to Levens Hall this morning.  It closes for the winter at the weekend and we wanted to have a final wander around the lovely grounds.  However today's dreich weather didn't tempt us out so I have busied myself in making carrot cake (No 2 son's favourite) and other prep.  

He is currently on his way and last time I looked he was near Sandbach on the M6.
