Emma and Rosie's visit

It's half term and Emma and Rosie have come up for a couple of days. We plan a trip on Ullswater Steamers, but when we arrive at Glenridding we find that they have cancelled sailings due to the weather. Welcome to Cumbria girls!

 

Never mind, we can do that tomorrow. Instead we head to Threlkeld to visit the mining museum. The tour starts with a trip on a small steam train - in the rain.

 

 

All aboard



Then we head into the mine (that's Mummy on the left with Rosie in the middle and Emma on the right)

There's not much room in here

Listening to the guide telling us all about life in the mines



 

Day Two - lets go on the steamers. To be on the safe side we decide to phone ahead and check that they are planning to sail. They are. That os they were, but by the time we arrived at Pooley bridge they had changed their minds!

 

The water levels everywhere are high, even the ducks are running out of dry ground

One place the torrential rain won't make any difference is Keswick Climbing Wall and luckily Mummy booked the girls in for a lesson this afternoon. So Harness on and off they go

Rosie was off first and up the wall like a true pro

Followed by Emma who was also up the wall in no time, and mastered abseiling down like a true pro as well

Onto the bigger wall

There's no stopping these two

Then into the bouldering area for a bit of free climbing

Such a shame the weather was so awful, but the girls seemed to have some fun and Breeze had lots of tickles and treats. By the time the girls were ready to go home, she was just getting used to having them around!
