Quick trip to UK.

 After two super sunny weeks the weather changed and we had a week of showers, we then had to make a quick trip to England a little problem
 with a leaky roof amongst other things. Visited with my brother, sister cousin and 96 year old aunt. Arrived in a snow storm then had three (yes 3) sunny days and then the snow came back on Friday but we managed to get out of Liverpool airport on Saturday. Back in Portugal and the weather is warm and sunny. The photo - - looking out over  my brothers back garden over Kirkby Lonsdale to Casterton Fell. Photo taken around 7:30 am Saturday 26/01/13.
