Another lazy morning this morning before heading off to
Grasmere in glorious spring sunshine.
The plan was to walk up Silver How above the village, partly for the
view and partly to tick off a Wainwright that I missed in March. It was a steep but short walk up to the summit, which is perched high above Grasmere with wonderful views across to Helvellyn
and Fairfield, Loughrigg and then over the Coniston and Langdale fells. What a superb position. We enjoyed watching two paragliders circling
above us. Although the sun was warm
there was a bite to the air so it must have been bitter up where they
were. On our return to the village it
was time for tea and stickies and a spot of grockling. I enjoyed pottering in the wonderful bookshop
before doing some food shopping for tea before heading back to the site and
beer o’clock. Thomas came to join us for
tea, having returned from a week’s sea kayaking on the west coast of
Scotland. We enjoyed hearing his tales
and looking at photographs of the trip while it rained and sleeted outside. It would be snow on the tops! By the time he left though the sky was
crystal clear and we had a wonderful view of the space station tracking across
the sky above us.
