Having a break from travel for a few weeks and planning our summer trip 2016 keep watching this space as we leave soon.

Keswick Jazz festival

Had a great time with the mountain festival  the week after. Bought a New car for when we are in Keswick

Hired a twizy car friend Geoff and I drove to Grassmere then Maureen and I drove around Keswick and Derwentwater.

This is a map of our travels on our table cover.

5  May 2016 Southport

Arrived Southport late afternoon after stopping at Manchester at good friends for lunch in a farm shop restaurant. Southport is looking a bit tired and what about there never being any sea there?

6 May 2016 Keswick

Arrived Keswick to lovely weather lovely to be back in The Lake district.

Drove up from Paignton 3 hours a good route placing us in a good position for leaving to go to Manchester via the M6 toll.

The site runs a lovely small river ferry into Stratford for £2.00 per person one way.

The staff here are extremely pleasant an asset to the company and refreshing for us. Stratford on Avon is a lovely clean town small and easy to navigate in.

A super Bar restaurant facility. A site worth returning to in the future.
