CARRY ON ADMIRAL

Not a Carry On film but a comedy nonetheless starring the fabulous Joan Sims and David Tomlinson (who played a character called Tom Baker!!).

Well yesterday afternoon we had a phone call from a neighbour who  said they had no water, so we checked and we hadn't either.  Put in a report to United Utilities and they had only just received 7 people reporting it.  It turns out there were not one, but two leaks around the corner.  We didn't have any water until 9.45 last night - 7 hours without it!!!  Phew.  Still at least they kept us informed and we did eventually get it back.  Just had to rejig what we were having for our evening meal and popped into town  to get a good supply of bottled water, just in case.  Looked after our elderly neighbour next door, but she was actually OK.

I had to stay in today waiting for a package to be delivered so Hubby went into town for a couple of hours.  He' now up the allotment of course.

I'm getting the camera ready to go and try and shoot the steam train that is due down the Furness Line this evening.  Not sure how well I will do as my photography has taken a step backwards but I've got to at least try.  

It's been a bit of a week really, well couple of weeks, but we're getting there, I think!!!

I decided to pop into the garden to see what I could blip, and yeah there wasn't one but 3 butterflies on the buddleia - AT LAST!!!!  2 Red Admirals (one in the main photo) and one very bedraggled Peacock (see extras).

That's all for today, do take care and stay safe and I will see you all tomorrow.
