We've done quite a bit of walking lately and yesterday we met up with some of Dave's family for a walk up to Lanty's Tarn. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we walked up to the tarn and then stopped for our picnic and a sit down. It actually didn't seem to be half as tiring as I remember it last time so I must be getting a little bit fitter!! It's a beautiful place and it's where Dave's dads ashes were scattered so a special place too.


















































Unfortunately our car broke down on the way back although we managed to eventually drive it home after the breakdown people had been. They reckon it's the starter motor so we didn't dare stop it to get fuel on the way home and were running on fumes for most of the way!! We had just picked up a really cheap car the day beforewhich will be cheaper to run and insure so the Toyota is definately going now! We just have to get it fixed (again!) before selling it...I hate cars!

It has been a lovely sunny day here but Ben woke up feeling sick and then promptly was! He has spent most of the day being sick, lying on the couch or snuggling up in our bed, not like him at all. He seems to be a lot better now, must have been one of these horrible 24 hr bugs, so hopefully by tomorrow he will actually feel like eating something. We have been busy trying to make the garden a bit neater today, Dave has strimmed the grass, cut the hedges, logged up some wood and dug some more out of the back and I don't seem to have done much!! (except cook meals, run around clearing up after sicky Ben, cuddling up to keep him happy, face-painting Eilidh to keep her happy..........) We even had our first meal out in the garden for this year...lovely!
