Wet drive down from Southport over the Mersey Toll got her in a black van so a fast wash in the rain back to white now. Noticed the standard of driving today awful lots of wobbly cars mobile phone ? 1 crash…bad overtaking  moan moan moan.

Very wet so a fast shop up the road Coop Ugh costly. To many cars in the Park and ride to go into town this late in the afternoon.

When you look at the light display on this campsite in 2020 and now ??? don’t get it what has caused such a change.
