Bushcraft and Boats......

 Although I have to admit to trying to avoid most of the Half-Term Activities, and from going anywhere near the touristy spots up here, we have ventured out to a few different places in the last week. Friday is Dad's day as I work so they went off in the boiling hot sunshine to the local Bushcraft Fair at Lakeside loaded up with suncream, spare clothes and lunch. It sounds like they had a great day, a lot of it spent wading in the lake as it was so hot!!   

The swamp monster of Windermere!

Maid Marian

Robin Hood!

Saturday was again spent down by the lake, this time we helped some friends tow their little boat into the water (who has a boat without a tow bar on their car???!!) and packed everything up for a relaxing picnic and play while they went out on the lake. Eilidh and Dave went off for a motor around the islands while Ben happily played on the beach and I read and did some hand hooking. Lovely!

Eilidh the spead freak!

Marooned...

Hours of fun with two fire engines and a beach!!
