Lakes District to Carries

---

Hi all,
This morning, after a lovely breakfast at Cherry Garth Cottage, we drove to the Lakeland Motor Museum so as Steve and Alex could have a look at the famous 'bluebird'. The Bluebird boat and car set land and water speed records and were driven by Donald Campbell.
While the boys poked about at the museum, Carrie and I went for a nice long walk along the river and into the nearby town.
We then said goodbye to the Lakes District and drove to Chester to pick up our hire car. Chester is an amazing city. In the centre of the city is a stohe wall that used to surround the original city. We walked the length of the wall (2 miles, I think).
We then drove to Uncle Roy and Aunty Gwen's (Meiford) for a wonderful buffet dinner. They had invited Uncle Frank, Aunty Margaret, Cousin Martin and his wife Vicki and their twin girls, Sarah and Jennifer to dinner. We had a fabulous time. Cousin Martin and his family and Uncle Frank and Aunty Margaret are lovely people. We really enjoyed their company.
Linda, Aunty Gwen's housekeeper, had prepared and put the buffet together, it was all delicious.
Today was another great day, and my rellies are wonderful.
We spent the night at Carrie's. Thankyou Carrie.

Lovely photo's
of your travels and of the rellies (some of whom I have not seen for ?how many? years. They all look in good shape. As for the Roman soldier, Sue : what I actually thought was how lucky HE was. ( but then I guess he did not really appreciate the honour!?)

I laughed
when I read your comment about the Roman Soldier, Uncle George. Yes, he did not know that he was a lucky man to run into a lovely Aussie girl. LOL x
