On Windermere Quay... planning our first outing.
Rowing on Windermere
I waved, otherwise other boaters would just stare at you, and you'd stare back. It was weird.
And on the 17th day, the lord invented boat covers.
I take a turn. It's not so hard!
Heh. Heh. This is hard.
My upper body is too short. I'm SMALL!
Well at least we aren't in London.
All right. I think Colin can do it again.
Why do I always have to do everything?
Wonderful old pub frequented by Dickens and wrestler Thomas ??

Dream come true. Hey, I thought Tetley's was tea!
