was a little con-ed by the weather, and also a little overenthusiastic after recent bout of cabin fever so jumped at the chance to go walking. which did not end up happening because got lazy and chose to drive from viewpoint to viewpoint, jetty to jetty. pfft :) then walk along the very underwhelming dam while joking that the location scouts are going to go crazy for it and maybe it'll be the set for next bond movie, not. this quickly descended into a competition to see how many movies featuring dams one could list (i lost, and winning would be a dubious honour!) by which time i'd lost interest and started looking for newborn lambs.
there were a couple of really tiny ones because it was still early in the season, and i might have squealed at the sight of the first and caused unnecessary distraction, which i was roundly chastised for. city girl thrown in country and easily amused? the struggle is real :(
was last at the water in first year and it's not changed one bit despite the multiple signboards talking about the need to diversify plant life because they, too, were getting tired of firs. there's man-made and there's man-made, occasionally man gets it very right (cragside!). maybe i was smarting from needing to restrain lamb exuberance but this was distinctly underwhelming.
cute picnic table though but we'd a greasy fry-up just before and there were too many midges to safely deploy a wicker basket.
