June 16th : Nenta hits Carlisle

It's mid June and the weather is rubbish. So it's time for NENTA to head north...Carlisle here we come!

Ruth's TV dinner?

Dinner time!


Tomato and basil soup for starters...

with freshly baked bread of course -yummy!


Fine traditional British fayre - steak pie and vegetables of the day


Or how about the veggie option? Very tasty!

Prime purchase from Carlisle

2 hours later...back to the station

Ruth outside Carlisle station, with freebie balloon from Comet

Nenta special due to depart Carlisle station 1645. At least that was the plan...

Carlisle station - quite pretty really.

Time for a quick bite?


Quaint coffee house not far from the castle. Aptly named...

Menu - we skipped the starter and main and headed for the pudding. Good value at £2.25 a pop.
