Vi opplevde alle varianter av vær de dagene vi var der; Fra flott høstvær med solskinn til regn og kuling. Grønt var det fremdeles, men noe løv var begynt å falle fra trærne. Det var en rød-brun farge som skinte fra fjellene. Vakkert.
Vi fikk selvsagt med oss alt det obligatoriske; Masse deilig bacon, cumberland sausage fra den lokale kjøttbutikken - se bilde, det gode lokale øl fra Jennings bryggeriet fra Cockermouth. Rønnaug fikk også besøkt frisøren. Både billigere og bedre enn Norge, og den amerikanske frisøren vi har her i Doha.

Rønnaug & Nigel, The Tithe Barn - pub, Cockermouth (Jennings bitter)
Mr. Lindsey, the friendly local butcher in Cockermouth.
We ordered 2,5 feet of Cumberland sausage.
A lot of water has run under this bridge. Just outside Cockermouth.
Nigel, Molly and Keith (for a drive on a sunny autumn day) outside Cockermouth.

English text:
Just a week after landing at the Doha airport, returning from Jordan, we were there again. This time is was a hastily arranged long weekend to England to see Nigel's parents. The night flights are never much fun, and as it seemed that half of the passengers were crying and screaming children between 2 weeks (the one right behind us) and two years (on the other side of the aisle), the 7 hour flight seemed a lot longer.
The weather was typical for the Lake District in the autumn, one super clear sunny day, and two with varying amounts of rain. Apart from the importance of the family get-together, we managed other such essentials as eating lots of pork products and getting a pint of the locally brewed Jennings Bitter.
