Waiting…and Lancashire Life
Waiting, waiting and more waiting!! Completing paperwork in order to emigrate is pretty full on but the most frustrating part of applying to move to another country with strict immigration laws is the waiting. It is completely out of your control and quite frankly, it sucks. Despite the reams of paperwork that we have already completed there is still plenty more to do. Yet we are stuck, in limbo. Until the officials and people-that-be stamp the first set of documents, we are unable to move onto the next set. Then the next and the next… As frustrating as it is we know that life must go on. With two very, full of energy and life boys, we have no other option but to get out and enjoy trying to entertain them; even in the lovely torrential rain and awful weather that Lancashire seems to be throwing at us of late!
We have tried to spend our time exploring the delights of Lancashire. So we have been on an amazing treasure hunt in our local village of Whalley. Paid a few visits to the seaside (one more than planned after having to go back to Morecambe a second time after losing and then luckily, someone finding and handing in our wallet). Been to museums that have educated the boys and us all about Lancashire’s history. Been on lots of walks out enjoying the local moors and countryside and visited various pubs, parks and restaurants. But off course the highlight, has been spending quality time with family and friends.

I do love that top photo, it looks so retro in black and white too. Hope the paperwork hurries up for you!
Thanks Fiona…still waiting!!
There looks like a lot to explore, a very photogenic area. Maybe you’ll want to stay after reconnecting with all the area has to offer. It did finally stop raining here for a few week, got really hot then dropped 30 degrees.
It’s too cold and wet here Jeanna, we’re looking forward to a new adventure. A 30 degree drop is crazy!
Hi Andrea, just the word paperwork gives me goosebumps. Applying for visas is a nerve-racking business. I hope yours goes through smoothly. At least having time to get out and enjoy the area where you are staying is a positive thing. I hope the weather improves for you too.

Thanks Debs, we aren’t used to all of this cold weather and constant rain. It’s been slightly better this week but still very cold! We are still managing to enjoy our time exploring though.
Well you certainly seem to be having fun while you wait. Love the B&W picture of the bridge. Hope you don’t have to wait too long to get clerance for your mover to New Zealand. #mysundayphoto
Thanks John, the first part of the clearance is done so just a bit more of a wait…hopefully not too long now!
Are those cormorants real? Amazing pic. Sounds like you’re making the most of your time. Good luck with your visas. #MySundayPhoto
Tara recently posted…My Sunday Photo – September 23rd, 2018.
It would be amazing if the cormorants were real. Thanks!
Really like that first photo, the arches lead you into the photo perfectly.
Have a good Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
Thanks, appreciate your hosting and feedback!
The first photo is stunning. Looks like the kind of place I would love to explore!
It is a great place to explore!
The weather has been miserable hasn’t it.
I cannot believe how much it rains. I forgot! At least it has been better this week.
Lovely photos, good luck with your impending move
Thank you, I have a feeling we will need good luck!!
