Today was the last full day at our Lake District cottage; we had to be out by 10am the following day. In the first picture there, A****** was all upset about something, so I sat him on the window and that seemed to calm him down pretty instantly. I wasn't about to push him out, really I wasn't. So, during the afternoon, we went for a fairly long walk, starting off at the car park at Aira Force and ending up at this odd little pub (I think visible in the fourth picture along there) at Dockray. This map's better (proper OS map, with the pub marked and everything). I say odd as we were the only customers there, and the land lady (or similar) was . . . well, odd, really. I'm not sure how else to put it. Once we were served and sat down, she picked up all her account books from the table opposite us and simply moved to another, quieter part of the pub.

Yeah . . . so, trees and hills and lakes and stuff. These pictures would have been of the way back from the pub, back to the car park. Those last two were taken later on that evening. In that blue-ish picture, I was trying to photograph the deer but the light was failing (19:07) and so was the battery. I was just beginning to experiment with strange settings on the camera when the battery gave up completely. Hence, that wasn't quite the picture I was after, but hey . . . better than nothing.

Tonight we stayed over at M****'s grandparent's place in Ambleside. I seem to remember a great deal of rain today . . . that would have been whilst we were shopping in Ambleside. Hmmmm, yes. M****'s grandmother, Therese, asked that a picture of A****** be taken of him bathing in their metal bath, as many generations have bathed in said bath in that very kitchen. So why not? Something more to embarrass A****** with in years to come.
