Birthday trip

We took Rachel to the Lake District today on her birthday. The Aquarium Of The Lakes (like a Sea Life Centre). She loved the fishes, and in the tunnel, we watched diving ducks (Tufted and a Pochard) come down to the bed of the tank and back up again. Odd watching ducks from below... Then we went out to Walney Island near Barrow-in-Furness and went towards Peil Castle and the lifeboat house. Alas, we didn't get to cross to the island that the castle stands on, the small ferry boats never arrived... But on the sandbanks, old derelict boats lay forlorn and desparate. By the lifeboat house opposite the castle, a butterfly landed on Rachel's cap... We all enjoyed our day out. Tomorrow, it's Gulliver's World Theme Park...

Forlorn...
