The weather was pleasant enough for a short walk after lunch today for me, Louise and Finlay. When we arrived at Tarn Hows it was actually raining lightly and the first half of the walk was under ominous clouds. As we rounded the top end of The Tarns, the clouds blew over and sunny blue skies miraculously appeared! This is always a fantastic little walk and it gave Finlay a chance of some swimming lessons to boot.
