Windermere walks – always something new

Yesterday Tom went to the Windermere Air Festival with friends and we took the opportunity to do our favourite walk around Dubbs reservoir.. We do this walk a lot but we never get tired of it as there is always something new to make it interesting.  As we climbed up from Limefitt Park the [...]

Man Stuff at Surf The Turf

This weekend my eldest son took a break from being a hotshot web designer and paid us a visit from London. It seemed like an ideal opportunity for  a bit of boys’ fun with him and his younger brother Tom.

My sister who was staying with us told me the story that my parents had been [...]

An Autumn Walk in the Lake District

On Wednesday I took some time out from the day job and headed up to Troutbeck to kit out the new lodge that we are bringing on stream in October – Otter Lodge.

Having created my own mini-ecological disaster with a  heap of totally unnecessary packaging that Tesco should be truly ashamed by, I [...]

New Years Eve in a log cabin the Lake District

It’s about this time. when the Summer Holidays are over, that people start to enquire about booking a pine lodge for a special New Year break.

If you’ve never done it before, just imagine waking up on New Years day and the traditional walk being straight from your lodge door onto [...]
