On the road again

Unfortunately the weather was awful when we came to leave Keswick this morning. It was so bad that we decided to stay another night, rather than tow the van down the motorway, but then discovered that we couldn't stay as there were no vacancies for this evening. At least C had taken down the awning the night before. If it had stayed up in the strong winds, (which was unlikely as we didn't see any that were still up by the morning) we would have had to dismantle it in the wind and rain which would have been horrible.

And so it was that we drove home, leaving at 12:30 and arriving at about 6:15 pm. In the event the drive wasn't too bad, as the wind was nowhere near as strong as it had been by Derwentwater.

This photo I took from inside the car just as we were about to leave. There were bits of paper and twigs flying past in the strong wind, and white horses on the water surface, although it looks quite sunny from this. Photographs can and do lie.
