Away in Hamish

Well. We did it. We had a night away in Hamish last Friday night. Our first night in the van for months. Yay! And the setting? A pub car park just outside Keswick!

It's not as weird as it sounds, staying on a pub carpark for the night. Some places will let you park up and stay overnight as long as you use their facilities. Or, in other words, you eat and drink there. Which we did. And it was very nice too. And after working out how to put the bed up in the van after a few months off, Oscar disappeared under the bed in his den for the night, and we had a lovely night watching the light fade over the hills.

And this was our morning view .....

Just beautiful.

We didn't have breakfast at the pub. We drove a few miles further along the Newlands Valley before stopping to make breakfast in the van. And then the rain came so we stayed in the van a bit longer.

But, it wasn't too long before the rain eased off and we set off on a short walk.
