From Whinlatter

We’re now in Keswick on the second stage of our Christmas travels, staying with Adam and Jane.

The weather deteriorated as we left Penrith, it was raining heavily when we arrived at their place. However, it stopped and cleared a little by the time we drove out to Whinlatter for a short walk around part of the forest.

Well, I say forest, this area was recently cleared by the Forestry Commission opening up extensive views east over towards Keswick, Skiddaw and Latrigg.

A fine evening ensued with a little alcohol consumed including a Scottish Malt Whisky Society Highland single malt.

Over in California there was much excitement as Maddy opened her Christmas presents early as she is with her mum this year. Landon was very excited too. Who was more excited I can’t tell.
