Good morning from another wet day in the Lake District. DS and family go home today, as they are off to Menorca tomorrow, where I am sure the weather will be lovely for them. The rest of us here till Friday.
Another lovely day out yesterday, and the weather was kind to us. We visited late DH's favourite lake, Wastwater, and scattered the rest of his ashes in a quiet secluded spot at the water's edge. I think he would have approved, as he did a lot of his sub-aqua training in this lake, and was never happier than when he was under water. It is the deepest lake in England and he was proud to say that he had dived to the bottom of it. We then repaired to the local hostelry and drank a toast to him.
Then off to Eskdale for a trip to Ravenglass and back on the little steam railway, which was much enjoyed by all. It was warm enough to sit in the open carriages and enjoy the beautiful countryside.
Then back to the cottage where DS cooked a wonderful curry.
Hope everyone's day goes well. Not sure what DD, DSil and I will be doing; we may go out for a meal this evening, but will probably spend the rest of the day trying to finish a fiendishly difficult jigsaw!
The photo shows the water's edge where we scattered DH's ashes; the DGDs are trying skim stones, their uncle is a dab hand at it!
