Have yourself a merry little Christmas

We’re having a lovely time in Stainton. We had a beautiful Christmas lunch courtesy of Sarah. We walked yesterday morning onto Askham Fell to overlook Ullswater and the Helvellyn range and then dozed through the afternoon and today we’ve been out replenishing the food stocks.

We’ve attempted to learn how to play poker with varying degrees of success, and, on a personal note, I’ve got Richard (landlord at The Kings Arms) to call me Peter. Hopefully he will remember tonight!

The turkey was still really good for lunch today and I think there’s a bit left for tomorrow.

As well as croc headlights we have:

Molly looking a bit disgruntled as a penguin

And

Milo as a reindeer.

Heather and I have had a fab time so far, and the rest of the family arrive, for the weekend, tomorrow. AND Liverpool won again!!!!

We all wish everyone who this reaches a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year

From Askham Fell. Hallin Fell in the middle ground, Helvellyn Ridge in the bacjground, then moving around to Great Mell Fell in the middle ground and Sharp Edge on Blaencathra peeping out of the clouds.
