Bank Holiday Weekend

After a bit of confusion (I thought Janis and Graham were coming to visit this May Bank Holiday) we found ourselves with a three day weekend to do with as we wanted. Now the sensible thing would have been to get some of the little jobs done around the house or catch up on the company paperwork but the weathermen had predicted that the fine weather would break on Sunday and we would be getting the more seasonal weather of showers. So what better than to take a trip out on Saturday while the sun was shining.

The drive up to Grange over Sands only took about an hour and a half and we had a lovely time mooching around the town and finding a little pub with a beer garden. We then drove out through the very pretty village of Newby Bridge before taking the lakeside road through to Bowness. We stopped along the way at a really pretty picnic area alongside the lake, sitting in the afternoon sunshine enjoying the fine view before taking a stroll down to the waters edge.
