Friday 17 August. Weather forecast is awful! Amber warning for thunderstorms and torrential rain this afternoon. So decided to catch the bus to Kendal. Missed it by 10 seconds. So headed to Morecambe. Then train to Lancaster for a bus to Kendal. Decided to take the train to Windermere instead. Rain. More rain. No buses at first because of a bus fire at Windermere station and traffic chaos.Had a coffee, then bus to Bowness. Returned to Windermere for a bus to Kendal. (Forgot to mention window shopping and spending in all towns.) The caught the return bus ( to the one we missed at the start) to return to Hest Bank and the boat. Tried the local pub for WiFi.None, so relying on tethering for all communications. Trouble is I cannot get the pc to send anything from Outlook Express, but can from Lineone (Talk Talk). Now pouring with rain and forecast is that we did not get the weather that was forecast. It's coming now!
