In which we go a magical walk and meet Santa!
Sunday, 18th December
Decided to ignore bad head and take Francis for a walk the other side of the lake, as he has not been there before. Drove to Hawes End and walked to High Brandlehow where we sat and had lunch, met a very young, very loud and very annoying seagull and then walked back. The weather is very mild, the temperature not particularly cold. The fells look wonderful, though not, I might say, particularly peaceful (there was the usual train of walkers along Cat's Ding-dongs for instance (Catbells: but it has been Cat's Ding-dongs ever since Ricky first walked up it when he was only five)!
Then just as we were passing by Low Brandlehow's Jetty I spotted Santa - getting out of the launch to tie up the boat. It was all very surreal. I said to Francis, "Oh look - there's Santa," I said and we watched with bemusement as he cast off and the boat made it's merry way across the lake with, 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' rising from it's bowels!
