Snow on the fells

and  a night away and excellent food at the Black Swan at Ravenstonedale. A hotel for the middle aged with hearing difficulties (carpeted floors, hurray) and their dogs. Our dog did not like Archie, the flat cost retriever, at the next table.

Fortunately Charles wasn't staying.

Dog had great day, pheasants, rabbits and a roll in something so disgusting we had to swoop into Kendal to buy a bucket and wash him in the car park before taking him into the hotel.
