We spent last weekend in the Lake District celebrating Andrena’s birthday and Andrena and Joe’s double Wainwright completion. The trip was based at Felldyke bunkhouse near Lamplugh, as some obscure Western Fells were the main objective. The Lakes were, as always, looking splendid – as were the cakes before we demolished them!
