Ullswater, in the English Lake District453 viewsUllswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District. Marjorie and I visited very, very briefly on our way back to Whitecroft, September 24 2005.Sep 24, 2005

Marjorie Outside The Toffee Shop in Penrith437 viewsI found their fudge (which is actually Scottish tablet) at a little gourmet grocery store in Cirencester a few years ago. We've bought their fudge at Fortnum & Mason and even Lakeland since then. As we were near Penrith, we thought we'd stop in and buy some fresh fudge and toffee. You can also order via their website.Sep 24, 2005

Pool and Back Garden at Whitecroft535 viewsWe've had the pool liner replaced, again. Haven't actually put a toe in the outside pool since 1996 or so. It's been quite a chore to get it clean --- lots of ugly algae and other things. Looks like we'll have it ready --- in time for autumn.Sep 15, 2005

Whitecroft Decking506 viewsThird time lucky? The first deck was built of teak and painted with special marine deck paint. It was incredibly slippery. The second deck was built of soft wood and stained, but the paint kept peeling off (you can see the latest coat on the right hand side -- the grey paint applied in 2003). The new decking is guaranteed for 25 years. Installed in August 2005, so we have until August 2030. I will be 81.Aug 29, 2005

Scary Photo -- Really Scary529 viewsI hadn't shaved in a while, so had a big white beard --- but my moustache stayed black and swarthy. I decided to keep the Tom Sellick look, but (fortunately) Marjorie was having none of it. My swarthy moustache was gone a minute later. I'm surprised how much I look like my father --- even down to his droopy eyelids and uneven eyes. Poor Shauna has the same problem. Strabismus in the genes!Aug 25, 2005

A Summer Afternoon on the Lake434 viewsOkay, more of a pond. But at least our paddle boat has an electric engine.Aug 21, 2005
