Taking to the water

Day 30: a rest day in a beautiful spot on the shore of Ullswater. This morning our energy levels stretched to walking 100 yards and getting onto a boat for a gentle cruise to the other end of the lake and back. This afternoon, a similar walk took us to a bench under a tree, with a view of the lake and an ice-cream shop close by. To work up an appetite for that, I had a swim in the lake, which was remarkably warm.

I'm glad to say that Paul seems much better; he is planning to do part of the walk tomorrow, to ease back into it.

Track of the Day is Debussy's "En bateau" (in a boat) - the gentle rippling is soothing me so much as I write that there's danger of my falling asleep...
