What a beautiful day it has been, 20c, blue skies and calm.
A walk, through the nearby forest, and, to the lakeside (Derwentwater), then around of the lake to Borrowdale. Got our time wrong for lunch at the Borrowdale Hotel, so, on to Grange for a very pleasant light lunch of bacon and Cumberland sausage sandwiches, before walking back to Manesty.
A very pleasant walk of about 3.5 miles.
The rest of the day was spent lazing in the sunshine.
New neighbours arrived, Guy and ?, from Howarth, Yorkshire.
One little bit of excitement, during our walk, a large helicopter (Chinook?) flew overhead, flying very low, presumably, some kind of training exercise.

Another beautiful day, clear blue sky and 21C.
A walk along the shore of Derwentwater to Keswick, 6.67 miles of walking.
Stunning views over the lake. Stopping off at Lingholm Gardens Kitchen, Portinscale, for lunch, It was recommended by our new neighbours. I quite enjoyed it, a change from the usual "pub fayre" in Keswick, Kathleen not so much, "too fancy" was her verdict on the food.
We continue on to Keswick, then, took the number 78 bus, getting off at Borrowdale Hotel, and then walking along the edge of the lake to Manesty and back to the site.
