The Giggling Goose Cafe, Ambleside

To avoid the Ambleside Christmas shopping crowds, we found a quite cafe, The Giggling Goose, where we had an excellent lunch.
However I just spotted on Twitter that it is Christmas Market weekend in Lincoln, so these shopping crowds do not look so bad now!

Walking today
Although it was a grey, chilly day, I walked a good length of the coastal path around Morecambe today. I scored a few geocaches and found an out of the way spot for lunch and a brew up.
Lake District Sunrise
Having left my Mother and Michael house sitting and cat sitting, I drove up to the Lake District yesterday afternoon.
Whilst drinking the first coffee of the day, this was the view through the patio windows this morning.

On the way to Scotland
I am on my way to spend the weekend in Edinburgh with Jeremy, leaving Michael to house sit and feed the cats. I stopped to take this photo on the nearly deserted A68.

A day geocaching
Back to work tomorrow – today I set out to go geocaching in the local area, to include getting fuel in Galashiels and lunch in Stow at a cafe recommended to me by one of the campers.
This cache was in a lay-by near the campsite

The view near Stow
It was strange geocaching in Stow as the caches were part of a treasure hunt and history trail around the village. Instead of having to be careful about searching and looking suspicious, it seemed like everyone knew what I was doing.
Excellent history trail – I would recommend it.
I’d recommend the Cloudhouse cafe in Stow as well, free fast wifi and good tea. Also the wifi let me catch up with things at the office and speak to client on Skype.
A day in Edinburgh
I went into Edinburgh today to meet up with Jeremy, geocaching then took us to a part of the city we had not visited before.
