Limefitt Visit

Rachel (you knew it would have been Rachel by this point didn’t you!) has organised a christmas break for the family at a lodge near Bowness in the Lake District complete with a hot-tub and play park. It’s bitterly cold so we’re all wrapped up ready for a chilly break and once we’ve got the kids in the car we’re off, the roads have gone a little dark and slippery but we’re not in any great rush to get there.

Chilly family picture with everyone wrapped up warm.

The lodge is lovely and clean but it’s really dark now so we settle in and make some tea, a dip in the hot-tub before getting ready to play some family games with a few treats. The following day we’re all up early out into the chilly air before we have a trip out to Bowness for a walk alongside Lake Windemere followed by a hot drink and a game of pool with the kids in a waterside cafe. Rachel came here for her hen-doo so she’s busy pointing out all of the places she probably won’t be allowed into again (kidding!) as the kids enjoy sliding on the frozen paths.

Back at the lodge, the kids (and us) have a go on the play area

It's only a matter of time until Fray Bentos or Jacamo are looking to do another calendar shoot so it doesn't hurt to practice my moves!

On a slight tangent, I don’t know if anyone else gets this but on hearing a camera click I’m usually fit for three takes, maybe four at a push but beyond that I’m done. If you didn’t capture my magnificence in the first few attempts then frankly you don’t deserve to, so it’s with this in mind that Rachel’s attempts to get a ‘nice’ picture of me falls on deaf ears. It’s one of my few rebellious traits so I make sure Rach gets nothing from me except a series of catalogue poses. I’m still not sure which is my favourite so I’ll let you decide! Merry Christmas, you’re welcome!
