This is the final hurrah for the school holidays before the return to school for Connie. We walked old favourite Beacon Fell in fittingly glorious weather and it was just about warm enough for a dip in Beacon Tarn too.

There's something wrong here - firstly, I am the only one in the water, secondly it is about 10 degrees too cold to be in there and thirdly...can you see the object that Casper has got his beady eye on? Well that is half a bar of soap (!) that someone kindly left. It is gone now - Dougal took one look at it after I shooed Casper away from it and promptly swallowed the lot in one go. He's staying outside for a while now...
