I thought that while we're sitting around waiting for anything interesting to happen, I'd take the opportunity to update you on what I've been up to lately.

A month or so ago now, I went to afternoon tea with Katy. We put on our posh frocks and ate fancy sandwiches and cakes, and drank fancy tea, at the Sanderson. It was such fun, even though it was raining very heavily. Look how pretty the cakes are.













I also went to the Lake District for some yomping. We were fortunate enough to have very lovely weather. In fact, we were also fortunate to be allowed to go outside in the lovely weather - I often find myself stuck indoors on sunny days in London. We were very energetic and walked Mountain No 2 (Helvellyn) on Sunday, and Mountain No 3 (Skiddaw) on Monday. We did Mountain No 1 (Scafell Pike) two years ago, so we're working our way through the list of England's highest mountains.

What was exciting about both mountains, but particularly Helvellyn, was that although it was very hot, the snow on the top hadn't melted. So we were wandering around in blazing hot sun, shorts, tshirts and lots of suncream, throwing snowballs at each other. Here's some pretty pictures:
