Winter solstice.

It's the shortest day, and the longest night!

We've had some very heavy rain showers today...breezy, too.

But we were so lucky with our walk by Derwentwater. First we started with Chai lattes and cheese scones at Lingholm. Delicious and warming!

Then we walked through the woods and down to Derwentwater for an hour or two. As we were changing our boots/shoes back at the car, the heavens opened. Perfect timing. We stayed dry.
