Just Walking in the Rain.................

The last stretch of our walk took us along the towpath of the canal & it really did chuck it down!

This canal runs along side Rufford Old Hall owned by Lord Hesketh, a very old Lancashire family.

At the end of this path we went & had a hot coffee & some of us partook of some delicious cakes!

Well done all of you - good friends, hot coffee, fine cakes and appropriate clothing make all the difference in the world!

@sarah19 I couldn't have said it better myself...in fact you said it better Sallie! It was quite warm so the weather didn't bother us a jot!

[Diana Moss]

You are brave to face the stormy weather, but I expect the tea & cakes were sooo good after your walk

[Pat Knowles]

@snowy Actually Diana I was very good & only had a black coffee! Was still full up from picnic lunch but the others had a custard tart.

Well as long as it is not hailing or lightening, a nice walk in the rain can be fun

[Judith Johnson]

Some lovely greens and pretty trees. Hot coffee and cake sounds good.

@sarah19 so true!
@happypat what a lush setting! I have to cultivate more walking friends..and cakes after!

[Pat Knowles]

@fannyb I thought @sarah19 words just perfect too! I do love to dance too!

[Pat Knowles]

@bpaquette Yes a walking group is brilliant. Not people I see except once a month as it's a group mostly from where we used to live so nice to keep in touch.

[Phil Howcroft]

Lovely photo. As for the coffee and cakes, isn't that the main reason for walking in the rain?

[Gillian]

Looks like a great walk! Pity about the rain.
