Lovely sunny day, crisp and cold, no snow here but there was lots lying, starting just south of Kendal, all very alpine looking on the hills. Really lifted the spirits.

Pushed the boat out , lunch in Asda next to the hospital then on to the K outlet village to buy shoes, not for me I hasten to add but for Richard who tends to buy four pairs at a time then waits till they start falling apart. He remembers wearing shoes that could be repaired over and over and can't get used to modern ones that get thrown away - unless you pay vast amounts for them in the first place.

Mission accomplished, I was a bit tired after all that but revived after a cup of tea back at home and now relaxing on accyweb! It was just nice to have a day out on such a perfect day weatherwise for this time of year.

Sounds like a great day ... would that be the Kendal where the mint cake comes from? Maybe you should have bought clogs instead of shoes. Clogs will last forever ... and they go well with a flat cap
