My son Matthew graduated from University this year and has spent the summer working in the Lake District. Last week, I was visiting clients in the north-west, and so took the opportunity of meeting up with Matthew and spending a day hiking.
Just to be reassuringly consistent, the Lakes kept up their 100% record of giving us foul weather to contend with. So awful, my waterproof clothes surrendered to the might of heavy showers and gales force winds.
