Just back from a couple of days with the folks in Torrisholme. Been to check out the old boy’s new shop STORE (as we must call it!) We stopped in a little hotel in Morecambe, overlooking the bay, somewhere I haven’t been before. Morecambe literally being 2 roundabouts away from Torrisholme. Morecambe’s a bit like Cleethorpes really - in need of a thorough ripping out and refurbishment. Well, maybe that’s a little unfair. It’s ok for a day out but you wouldn’t want to be confined there for a fortnight! Its one saving grace is the gorgeous view overlooking the bay to see the hills of the lake district in the background. That’s lovely.

It’s always nice to see the olds, and as usual I returned with a boot load of beer. Which is always appreciated, especially around Christmas! While we were there Rach & I had a trip up to Windermere and the familiar Bowness Bay…

…Where Ben loves to feed (and chase) the ducks and watch the boats.

While we were in Windermere we popped in to the rather fantastic & huge kitchenware shop (next to the train station) called Lakeland Limited. We were in need of a couple of new frying pans because ours were just about knackered so we popped in to see what they had. Glad we did, otherwise we may have missed this little beauty.

And seeing as though the other 2 pans wore out because we are FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST fans, this was a must.
I couldn’t wait to try it out…

Check those egg recesses out! Quality.

Eggs fully recessed! Nice.
