A trip to the Lakes.

Yesterday the weather was so nice we decided to head to the lakes. Soon enough, we found ourself in the idyllic setting of Lake Windermere. The views were breathtaking as we began approaching Windermere. Finding a parking space wasn't as easy as it sounds! 15 minutes and 2 wrong turns later we finally found a patch of grass 10 minutes' walk from the lake itself. Our day comprised of walking along the lake and we also had a nice meal in a period home turned restaurant. We then decided to head for a lake cruise and chose the Blue Cruise, which is a 45 minutes' spin around the islands. Beautiful water, glorious skies, friendly people waving as we glided past, it was all perfect. However, halfway through, a cloud overshadowed the sun and things got a little chillier. This was a prompt for MIL (mother-in-law) to harp on about going below decks because it was "cold". We didn't allow her to and eventually the sun
re-appeared and all was well. We even had war planes doing menouvres over our heads as we sailed along! As we were sailing we saw this mountain.

I said to the wife "I should tp across and drop a bomb. Bet there are some nice resources there!"

After returning to land, we had a little walk around the shops by the lake, stuffed our faces with ice-creams and picked up a few postcards for FIL (father-in-law). We then stopped off at the amusements before heading back to the car. It was a breath of fresh air to find games costing 10p a go. It brought back a few memories of seaside towns I used to visit as a child! It even had one of my favourite games. The kentucky derby! So while I amused myself for about 10 minutes spending £1 on these machines the Mrs spent £1 for two minutes on House of the Dead 4! Still... she put up a heroic fight, drilling through the undead and shaking them off until her own dying breath. What a girl.
