and so was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston...

OK OK so Coventry wasn't actually covered with snow on Monday. But some did fall while Jean and I were waiting for the bus after we went swimming. Had a few flakes Tuesday as well. Nothing that stuck though. Still, it made me smile and have JT playing in my brain.

Our trip to Keswick was fun. Jean's first holiday and my second trip to the Lake District. We did some walking (Friar's Crag, Ashness Bridge, Walla Crag (hereafter known as Welly Crag) and Castlehead) and some shopping and ate a lot of local food. On Thanksgiving we went out for a roast chicken dinner at lunch and then had the pumpkin pie Id baked the day before. We stayed at Dairy Lodge cottage, which worked much better than a B&B would have for us.

In other news, we're getting a new washer/dryer today as ours died before we went to Keswick. The laundry has piled up, despite our lovely neighbours doing some for us and there being a washer and dryer at Dairy Lodge. I should get it all washed by Christmas, LOL.

In relation to my icon, I can't believe he appointed Hillary Secretary of State. Dude, she wants your job and now she's fourth in line for it!
