Do you enjoy days out that get you in the mood for Christmas…?
Last year I found myself a cracking one!
Steve and I headed up to Keswick driven by my yen to see the "Santa Splash on Derwentwater".

It's basically a bit of a PR exercise for Keswick, in which teams from local businesses dress up as Santas and elves and take to the chilly waters of Derwentwater for a rather shambolic canoeing race. It was absolutely hilarious!

Some of the boats just went round and round in circles, till the competitors worked out that they needed to paddle on both sides of the boat! Several boats hadn't worked out what the course was, and there was a fair amount of squealing coming across the water as novice paddlers struggled to round the marks!

The same team of competent canoeists won as the previous year, but the large crowd of onlookers appreciated the efforts and spirit of all those who braved the cold lake to take part in the spectacle! And I'm sure the various businesses and Visit Keswick the Lake District, the local tourist board, really appreciated the chance to get some cracking promotional shots!

If you'd like to see the Santa Splash for yourself, I believe it's on at 12 noon on 1st December this year (further details at: https://www.keswick.org/whats-on/keswick-at-christmas) with the week's accommodation available at Burnmoor, our holiday let (which sleeps 6 in three bedrooms with two bathrooms - pets welcome) at https://www.cottages.com/cottages/burnmoor-cc111341

This A4 (29.7cm x 21cm) unframed original watercolour (just titled “Santa Splash on Derwentwater”) is available for £75 including UK postage. Please just private message me to arrange your purchase.

It's also available in a mix of different types and sizes of prints, and printed on all sorts of lovely things (like accessories, apparel, homewares, gift items, etc) at:
https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/154124521

8 reasons walkers REALLY love autumn...

Yes, yes, leaves and mellow fruitfulness, but also quite a bit of...

1 TREADING IN PUDDLES
Because this is what adulthood promised – pudding for breakfast and all the puddles you can splash in. Although steady on, it's getting up the back of your leg a bit and those trousers won't wash themselves.

2 SNUGGLY FLEECES
How good is it pushing your head through the yielding neck of a fleece that had sunk to the bottom of the drawer? It's like wrestling a kitten or nuzzling a puppy! And tell you what, isn't having your arms covered ACE?

3 LAYERING UP
Summer's no respecter of gear knowledge. But Autumn sees you carefully apply wicking, warming and water-repelling layers with the skill of a French polisher.

4 NOT SWEATING, GLOWING
Apple-cheeked and aglow are we, not sweat-drenched and delirious like an exhausted marathoner, as summer often chooses to portray us.

5 HOT DRINKS
Space-flight, microscopy and modern medicine are easy to take for granted. But sweet coffee, succulent Bovril or fragrant chocolate, and you're drinking it outside? Now that's amazing.

6 COLD NOSES
Walkers proudly eschew luxuries those who lead a more coddled existence rely on. So it's good to feel a bit cold – there look, feel my nose – just not somewhere where it actually matters.

7 CLOUDS OF BREATH
You're a steam train! A dragon! Smoking a huge cigar! You're a wally who's never quite grown up – and when simple pleasures are this much fun, wouldn't it be shame to have done?

8 DUSK IS FALLING – WE’VE HAD A REAL ADVENTURE
We've used up the whole of a day! We must have come a long way. The smell of the twilight is thick and spell-binding. Pour a drink; put the fire on – now we're unwinding.

School's out for summer ... and the sun is bound to return!

The woodland playgrounds and family natures notes are always popular with youngsters. There is plenty of space to burn off excess energy along the heather path maze in the Bee Garden, on the terraced lawns and skimming stones by Bassenthwaite Lake. Bring a picnic and ice creams are available aplenty at the Old Sawmill Tearoom across the road!
