Happy Easter to everyone, Matthew and Sarah are home for the weekend and yesterday we had a walk through Grizdale Forest and down to Brantwood on the shores of Coniston Water where we had a spot of lunch at the excellent Jumping Jennys. The Steam Yacht Gondola was just setting off back across the lake.
