Lake District

I too was in the Lakew District as a month’s rain fell in 24 hours at the weekend. But unlike the mountain men whose annual marathon has got so much publicity, I only went to Asda at Kendal.

We had returned a faulty TV, got  a replacement, filled up with diesel at the shambles which is the store’s petrol station…and then decided it was too wet even to go for a walk in the woods at Sizergh with the dogs!

But top prize to the BBC  reporter who found the trio who were afronted at all the attention. “Of course the weather was terrible,” said one. “That’s why we come!”
