Many years ago I read a science fiction story by Robert Heinlein called “The Door into Summer”. I was reminded of this today when I came across this gate which looked up at the perfect blue sky that made walking today such a perfect Lake District experience. The door into summer Somehow it seemed to promise [...] Did you know that the international distress signal is 6 blasts of a whistle followed by a pause of 1 minute and then a repetition of the 6 blasts? If your signals are heard there should be an answering whistle of 3 blasts followed by a pause of 1 minute, repeated several times. You should continue to [...] We were really pleased with the lovely review of Kingfisher Lodge that a recent guest Nick Peet wrote in the Liverpool Echo, published today. Kingfisher Lodge in the Snow Beauty and peace on your doorstep Jan 5 2010 by Nick Peet, Liverpool Echo // tm.siteLife.daapi.getArticle( Lola the bulldog takes Nick Peet for a week of splashing [...] We played host to Mr & Mrs Inappropriately-Equipped and their lovely family over New Year. We had a lovely evening last night. Gary nearly won at Triv. We had a game of Articulate whilst we still were and after midnight we went up to The Haybarn where we stayed until 3 a.m. dancing.

As recommended by the Divine St Julia (Bradbury) we parked in Keswick and took the boat across Derwentwater, which gave us a great view of the fell before we started. Catbells from Keswick We climbed up the zig-zag path whilst the kids just about [...] Taking advantage of the fine weather we decided to head out to Orrest Head. One of the beauties of Limefitt Park is the fact that you can do so many fantastic walks straight from the front door of your pine lodge’s front door. We set out on a 7 mile walk that took us up Applethwaite [...] It’s been a bit mixed weather-wise this week, and as I type this I am looking out at a mizzle of rain drifting across the Troutbeck valley. It’s still lovely though:-) We’ve had Troutbeck in cloud and we’ve had Troutbeck – Just 1 cloud Fortunately the weather was lovely on Bank Holiday Monday for the Troutbeck Garden trail.
It’s been a bit blowy up here today, but it was great to get Suki out for a decent walk.
