But It's So Much Nicer, Yes It's Oh So Nice To Wander Back.
Home. Set off from Windermere at ten o'clock this morning and we were back in Inverness at half past two. Grey skies as we left the Lake District but shirt-sleeve sunny in Inverness. Smug as a bug in a rug.
But I shall miss my evening strolls to the Grey Walls Hotel - one of only two wi-fi locations in Windermere village. I was starting to get on very friendly terms with the bar staff and fellow drinkers. One chap, watching me tap away on my laptop, was convinced I was some kind of stock-broker trading on the international markets.
I explained that I knew nothing about high finance although I once considered buying shares in Dyno-Rod until I realised it would be money down the drain.
Is that the time?
