Oops! Sorry I didn't get back with everyone. Yep, my little darlin' is here now. We've already been up to the Peak District for a week, rented a cottage - had a wonderful time there!! Of course, she loved Alton Towers, she and DH went on every single ride several times over,
and they both went back for more the next day (I had a quiet day to myself at the cottage, begging off a round two with them). DD even told her friends she thought it was better than Orlando's Disney World.

Loved the hiking; the homes; even the weather was pretty good.... please, please,
pleeaassee let us win the lotto so we can move up there!

Anyway, with the rainy weather, the PS II is getting an enormous amount of workout from you-know-who.
