So…we had some time off with Tessa last week. She was over from Australia visiting family and she popped up to see us for a few days. We spent a lot of time in the Lake District, walking from Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater with her Auntie and Uncle, a steep climb up Raven Crag, a visit to Castlerigg Stone Circle and Mayborough Henge and an epic walk up Causey Pike on her last day with us.
And Paddington makes four!
