January is doing what it does best, being cold and wet. At least that’s what it’s doing here on my doorstep. Time is not being wasted though, planning is being done for when Mr. Bluesky returns.
So I landed up in Keswick in the early afternoon, I’d no particular plan for the day so like I said earlier I didn’t want the blue skies and sunshine go to waste.
