Reasons to be Cheerful XVII (#R2BC)

On the whole a much more cheerful week so here's the things that have made me smile in the past 7 days:

We had a great weekend showing them around Kendal, having a BBQ and going to the #CumbriaTwitnic. It was a very relaxed weekend with friends old and new. The fact the sun shone for almost the whole time was an added bonus.

Here is the proof he made it:

Only a 30 minute hike but a good start to his rambling career in the Lakes especially as this was the walk that inspired Wainwright to write his famous books 80 years ago this year! Here's onwards and upwards to the remaining 213...
