Lake Jake

Great to catch a few days near Keswick with Sheila and Jake. We’d been looking forward to getting back across there for some time as we hadn’t really had a day off in about seven weeks being full on in the wedding season.  It turned out to be pretty grim as far as Landscaping was concerned, even though I did carry two tons of gear everywhere with me.  On the other hand it wasn’t time wasted as Jake’s proving to be really at home in the wilds and takes to the water without any hesitation - great non load bearing exercise for a growing dog. We managed to catch up with some friends who introduced us to a short low level walk in and around St Johns in the Vale. It turned out to be a lovely stroll with good company and Jake being on good behaviour. Jake now has his full complement of swimming badges - not bad considering he’s completely self taught. Next time we will be over there will be late November but I don’t think the cold water will be bothering him at all.
