A Picnic at Barbon Fells


Started out pretty nice - a little breezy but perfectly manageable for a picnic for the girls while the boys all headed up the hill...



Here, Olivia and H are intrepidly exploring a little hill across the brook... H isn't quite 3 yet, so this was probably enough hill for her to tackle, particularly in light of the subsequent weather...



...first it began to sprinkle just a tiny bit, 


then it got a little worse, but being English (well, some of us are - KA and I aren't, but we've both lived here a long time) we stuck with it for a while. Eventually, however, it got quite heavy, so we decamped to the cars.  The boys, of course, were still up the hill at this point - they were completely drenched when they finally came back down. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of that... Back to the house for hot chocolate and tumble-driers!
