Today we did a little sightseeing around Wigton and the Lake District. First headed to Carlisle where Kari got to check out the local Mark & Spencers. A first for her. Looked around Carlisle center before heading to Andrew and Victoria's for lunch. Victoria even made Kari a birthday cake! We headed to the Lake District after that. Stopped by Castlerigg first, which is where the picture was taken. Headed to Keswick (pronounced "kezzik") where we headed out for a walk to Friar's Crag. A stroll around Keswick followed. A beautiful drive home through the Lake District and we were once again back in Wigton for a short rest. Headed to a nearby pub in Caldbeck called Oddfellows Arms. Lots of great food and a pint of Strongbow Hard Cider and the day was complete.
Sunday will bring a short 2.5 mile hike to warm up before the big one. More from that later. Until then, cheerio!!
Sunday Happy Fathers Day Eric.
ReplyDeleteSounds like all going well and soon you will be getting the propper hours of sleep, hope you will be able to ajust time when you get back. Curious "What is Mark & Spencers"?. Thanks to Kevan I am able to write back to you.
Spoke with Joe and he is doing well and wished him a Happy Birthday and caught up with the latest with him. talk to u later. Love, Aunt J.
Mark & Spencer is a very nice variety store. The grocery part is a lot like Trader Joe's but probably a little more upscale. They also have shoes, clothes, furniture,etc. Kari had heard about it but had never been. Glad Kevan was able to help you and that you can follow along and comment. Eric thanks you for the Father's Day wishes. Talk to ya soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fathers Day Dad!!
