Back in Barrovia

Getting back to Barrow isn’t as easy as it used to be.

In fact, on a train, it takes less time now to get to London than it does to get to Barrow-in-Furness. What’s that all about?

Shocking stuff.

Anyway, I’m back in Barrow for the weekend with Jen. We have a charity event for my cousin Jake who passed away a number of years ago. Should be a good one, and an opportunity to raise plenty of money for a great charity – Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group.

That’s tomorrow night, though. Today/tonight was the long-winded process of getting to Barrow followed by a chilled out evening with the family.

Food

The highlight of any day.

Dinner was at the (4 star) Duke of Edinburgh.

I had steak with chunky chips and a side salad.

It was good. But it didn’t blow me away.

Overall, a solid 7.5/10 dinner.

Football

England vs Scotland.

We thumped them 3–0. Easy win.

Finally got to watch a match with my Dad for the first time in (pretty much, give or take) forever, so that’s always enjoyable.

Overall, a solid 8.5/10 match.
