OK so we know we haven't been very good at this recently but we now have downloaded a whole lot of photos and we have a laptop (from Susanna's new job!!!!) so we really have no excuse...
EASTER in the LAKE DISTRICT....
Was really beautiful. We stayed in Keswick, which is north of Windermere and east of Cockermouth. There were a lot of other campers in the farm paddock that we had pitched our little dome tent in but that didn't last long. On Friday night, the wind howled a massive gale. Unbelievable - it was so noisy that Dan ended up sleeping in the (tiny) car. The next morning, half the other tents were destroyed and people were packing down what remained. The weather hadn't finished with us yet.... it started snowing in the early hours of Sunday am so that when we woke up, all was quiet and still and surrounded with several inches of the white stuff.
Despite this, we still managed to get out and drive around much of the lake district. We also went walking to Castlerigg Stone Circle, up Walla Crag and down along the eastern shores of Derwent Water, and around the lakes in Grasmere. Here are some of the pics.
