Hello to the Lakes. This place never gets old and always
looks good. We have a camp site for the day and night, so we freshen up after
the drive and head out to the town. The Lakes are always busy and being we have
arrived in June makes no difference. There are people everywhere and the kids
are loving all the ducks and swans just at arm’s reach. The ice-cream place me
and Gobey always go to never fails to have the best ice-cream here. So with
everyone kids and adults all ice-creamed we are ready for a boat trip.
We head out for a boat tour down Lake Windermere with a stop
at Ambleside, where have to return Gobey’s trousers that he bought in Wales
that are faulty. Because only Gobey can buy trousers where there is only like 5
stores round the UK. One in Wales and one in the Lakes, lucky we are in the
area. When we get to Ambleside we have 30mins to get off the boat, get the trousers
swapped and head back for the last boat back to Windermere. Talk about cutting
it fine. And if we miss the boat it’s a £40 taxi fare back to Windermere.
Well we mange to get the trousers swapped, made it back to
the boat and now it’s time to get some tea. Early night is needed too as
tomorrow we head for Blackpool. We find the nicest restaurant. The food was
great but talk about big portions. The kids loved their mac and cheese. Ty has
been feeling sick and after a full day out in the fresh air has crashed at the
end of the table. Leah and Alex are loving the music and are dancing like they
are nutters. They are dancing so much so that a lady in the bar has bought them
a giant cookie. Kids do come in handy!!
Back to the camp site we head as tomorrow we are off to
Blackpool.
