BBQ Swim!

Today was the first day of Summer we have experienced this year in the rainy Lake District and coincidentally it coincided with The Tri Clubs Annual BBQ!

We enjoyed Burgers, Sausages and lots of other delicious BBQ food along with a bit of healthy salad washed down with Beer and Wine! 

Luckily I was driving so only had sparkling water as swimming in a lake with burgers etc in my stomach was bad enough without the added hindrance of alcohol! It was only the drivers who actually made it for a swim, the rest stuck to paddling at the shore!

The only problem with swimming in Lake Windermere on a hot and sunny Sunday afternoon is the number of reckless tourists out in boats and dinghy's with very little control, mixed with a swimmer with poor sighting skills and it isn't a good combination!

However, I survived dodging the boats and it was pure bliss to get out of the lake and to be able to sit outside in the sun instead of sitting shivering in front of a log fire!

We managed to swim 0.91 miles which can be viewed here and no one drowned!

Instead of the usual cake and coffee we have after swimming, today we had the treat of some scrumptious desserts!  The Tiramisu and Pavlova were to die for!  

I had swum so deserved to indulge!

This is what Summer Sundays should be about!

A fantastic afternoon was had by all!
