Saturday Fergal's parents showed us some of the beautiful countryside near Carlisle. First we went to a pottery craft fair at an old estate called Hutton in the Woods.

| Where is my steering wheel? |
Being a passenger in the left front seat was weird, I kept thinking that oncoming traffic was in the wrong lane!
I have never seen this much pottery!
Yoda was confused...

| "Potfest you said, thought there would be weed I did" |
Touring the gardens
 |
| Fergal and Lee (ie Megan) |
 |
| Fergal and his dad, Aidan. |
After the Potfest we headed to Ullswater.
We took a boat ride across the lake.
 |
| Aidan and Anne Marie, Fergal's parents, enjoy the view. |
 |
| It was a little nippy |
We got off the ferry in Howton and hiked to an old church
A nice view of the village and the lake form the top of the pass.
On the other side of the hill was some gorgeous scenery.
One lane country road
And this is what we came to see.
Resting up for the walk back
Oops, looks like we missed our ferry, guess we will have to find a pub while we wait for the next one.
Almost missed the next ferry too!
Finally headed back.

| Pooley Bridge |
On the way back to Carlisle we stopped at a 4500 year old ceremonial site called Castlerigg.
End of a great day of sight seeing.
