Greetings from Windermere! The Daft Family Household are on tour! As it is Easter weekend, Daddy Daftie has no work, Wee Daftie has no school and I’m still not quite back to work yet so we’re having a mini break away.
I could have spent hours down by the water taking pictures, writing, reading, or just staring. It is utterly gorgeous.
We left our house this morning after breakfast and Daddy Daftie drove us down in a mere three and a bit hours. The drive was uneventful, filled with me singing along to the radio and interspersed shouts of “Sheep!” as we sped along.
We found our accommodation easily enough but it was too early to check-in when we arrived. Luckily we found some parking, some lunch and a lovely playground near the shores of the lake.
Wee Daftie had a great time at the park, making friends as she went. I love how easily kids make friends. It is so beautiful and as simple as “Want to play?” And then off they go, running about and pushing each other on swings.
My girl is incredibly social though so it never surprises me how well she manages to rub along with others; children, adults, dogs, squirrels, geese, whoever.
Down by the shore, we explored, we threw stones, we dabbled in the water, we almost fell in. It was fab. Considering we had a three hour drive down, we absolutely smashed our step target for the day as we trekked back to our accommodation to unpack a bit and recharge a lot.
We have a full day ahead of us tomorrow and I think we’re all excited and grateful. We had such fun today and I can only hope for more of the same tomorrow as we step off on more adventures.
