Larry needed to explore a bit further into Borrowdale so we had a look at the Bowder Stone
After climbing to the top of the stone Larry discovers that there isn't much room to manoeuvre, so he returns to ground level.
Another beautiful day in paradise. After climbing the fells at Watendlath, Larry and I were greeted by a spectacular sunset over Borrowdale. No wonder Hugh Walpole was so inspired to write novels about the area.
A nice crisp frost with beautiful blue sky, don't mind the cold when the sun shines
another frosty view down by the lake
Christmas Eve and the sun is still shining. Our son Robert brings his bike and I hire one so that we can cycle around the lake. "Just one big playground" says Robert.
More cycle riding
We finally make it down to Portenscale by 3:30 pm as the sun is setting. The ducks think they are going to be fed but not this time.
Skiddaw turns golden in the setting December sun
Robert enjoys his bike
The Keswick Christmas market
Mr Robin calls to wish us all a Merry Christmas on Friars Cragg
