First stop Sizergh Castle in the (very hot) sunshine - the gardens were looking lovely - before moving on to Milnthorpe to meet up with everybody.
Barbecue on the beach at Silverdale that evening - good to catch up with folk, and in such a lovely location. All those years living in the Lakes and I never made it to this bit of coast!
Great sunset too:
Next day, sun still shining (although not quite as hot) and we headed for Windermere and a visit to Wray Castle.
Although it's been National Trust since 1929 they've only just opened it to the public. Lovely building, in a fantastic setting, although it doesn't have quite as much 'history' as most NT properties.
Had a bit of a walk and a picnic by the lake as well, before returning to Milnthorpe for a very nice dinner in a local restaurant, and to toast our hosts' 20th Wedding Anniversary (how the time flies).
A good weekend.
