Sodden Sunday - watched the rain come down. All day. Shopping at Lakeland and Booths was the inevitable activity for the day for the childless adults. Aliens in the Attic for the cousins with children.
Muckabout Monday - accompanied the senior generation down to the Lake to watch kids mucking about in the water in the morning, mass game of rounders in the park in the afternoon. Then the big event in the evening - celebration of the soixante-dizaine of le vieux oncle R. Forty guests for dinner at Glenridding, age range 12 months to 89 years. Highly enjoyable evening for one and all.
Trekking Tuesday - the sun deigned to put in an appearance. La bienheureuse, la belle-mère et moi took advantage of the good weather to venture out on a minor hike. Skelwith Force to Colwith Force and back to watch the water cascading over two sets of falls. Spectacular. Then a walk into Ambleside to purchase emergency dinner provisions and watch cousins and progeny hacking round the pitch and putt and on the tennis court.
Wet Wednesday - it's raining again...
