Another glorious walk today, although the weather was more grey and murky, than the blazing sunshine we enjoyed last weekend. We took the boat across Derwentwater, and walked a couple of miles between High Brandlehow and Hawes End, stopping along the way for a picnic (which somehow managed to be in possibly the only slightly windy bit of the walk). We saw jays, a deer, plenty of ducks and geese, and a woodpecker, and much fun was had by all. The views, even though we weren’t high up, and there was mostly grey skies, were spectacular, and we might almost have convinced the boys to take a jaunt up Catbells one day.
