| It was a chilly day but the sun was out so Ken and I decided to drive up into the countryside to Wycoller Country Park and take a walk. We ate a nice lunch before our walk and then when we finished our walk, we went back into the little cafe/gift shop and had some yummy dessert. Hope you enjoy our walk with us. It was nice to get out, seems we've been in much more this winter.
