Lake District!

A week of firsts.

Sunday saw Asher's first Wainwright (Loughrigg). Monday his first boat trip, on the launch from Ambleside to Bowness. Today was my and Noah's first night out since Asher was born. We went to Zeffirelli's to see the Alan Partridge film (very funny - and the cinema was most charming).

We have also paddled in Rydal Water (declared my favourite lake as of today), enjoyed games and hilarity at the cottage and visited Daisy's cafe for lovely cakes. The plan for tomorrow is to take the bairn up the Old Man of Coniston.

In short we're having a lovely holiday (though honestly not without patches of extreme grumpiness on my part as Asher is teething and has a cold, resulting in a significant net loss when it comes to parental sleep). But it's beautiful, the weather is lovely and we're having a great time. More details (well, photos) on our return!
