day after birthday
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
We went for a walk today. The snow was quite a bit worse round Ullswater than we had thought. Some of the older people in our party couldn’t make it back to catch the ferry and I had to drive four miles down the icy Howtown road to pick them up. It’s enough to drive you to drink.
After a very cold walk, we warmed up by the fire at the Yanwath Gate. Two pints of High Pike were very well received. It was then an evening of Rioja. I had quite a number of glasses to celebrate the safe return of all concerned.
