Lake District again

This time we are in Borrowdale, and we are a couple of miles from Keswick. We overlook Derwent water and, on the first day we climbed Cat Bells, which is just across some boggy land from where we are staying. On the second day I stayed in and marked some work and generally made myself at home. I have seldom felt so really comfortable in a holiday home. This one has an ensuite bathroom for each room (even the cupboard room where S is sleeping) and there are two comfortable sitting rooms, though neither is big enough for all 20 of us. The views are fantastic and yesterday we climbed up beside the Loder Falls which were in full spate and very dramatic. It was quite a tough climb and because we didn't start until after the rain stopped, we were on one of the tops (Jopplety How) (no, really) admiring the view when the sun went down behind a peak and I felt we must hurry to get down and be on the road when darkness fell, which we managed to do, but only just. We all got home from walks at about the same time and changed for the big night. Then the "children" prepared a buffet and some pizzas and quiches for our party, which they did beautifully. We played charades a lot but alas, there was no music and dancing, which we have enjoyed in previous years. Peter and Danny play the ukelele and the guitar and sing when the mood takes them, which is lovely.
