Off to Kendal this morning, we got to the ferry to find it out of action due to high winds, the sign at the top of ferry hill and the one at Hawkshead look they are the victims of vandalism so we did not find out till we got to the landing, we went south round by Newby Bridge, the new High Newton bypass is getting near completion. We had quite a lot of goods to buy this week we are getting ready for the weekend when the tea rooms open for the season.
