The week-end

We had a wonderful time in the Lakes at the week-end courtesy of our lovely son Mario. Our Christmas present from him was a two night stay at the Keswick County House Hotel with breakfast and dinner on both days. Thank you so much baby it was just what the Doctor ordered!
On the drive up we de-toured up the Kirkstone Pass and stopped for refreshments at the Kirkstone Inn. It is the highest Inn in Cumbria and very quaint.

When we arrived at the hotel we checked in, then had a little walk in the garden.

A bit of Wordsworth (The Daffodils were in the garden of the hotel)

 After a little rest we decided to have a drive into Keswick town centre and have a wander around.

 It's such a lovely place and has very happy memories of a couple of holidays spent there with my best friend Linda and her hubby years ago.

 After our walk we drove down to the lake. It was just so peaceful and I took some nice photo's of the lake. Here's one of my favourite's ;)

I also love this one of a cheeky goose sticking his tongue out!
