Back to the Lakes: Longthwaite and Broughton
Back to the Lakes: Longthwaite and Broughton
In April, we went up to stay in Longthwaite, in the Lakes, to celebrate Kate’s brother’s 60th birthday. How young!
His big birthday present (which he spookily predicted in a dream), was an inflatable canoe, named as ‘Adventure’.

After the celebrations were over we went to stay in Sue and Andy’s house in Broughton-in-Furness, unfortunately not with Sue and Andy. The house was lovely though and we had several delightful walks (obviously not too strenuous as befits our ageing limbs).

A lovely view, rather spoiled by a couple of old codgers who wouldn’t get out of the way.
