"And for the first time, I can call this home"

I took a trip to Bolton Abbey yesterday with my folks. It was beautiful and wonderful and so, so warm. I am loving this weather! We went on this long walk down both sides of the river and I melted. The last mile or so was more like an endurance test for me (I used to be really fit and won athletics competitions and all sorts of things, but I'm skinny-fat now, and completely lazy) but it was a grand day nonetheless.
In hindsight, double denim was a bad choice. It was cold when we set off...
