Day 2 started rather early for me as a sheep in a neighbouring field apparently had a lot to say around 4am but I managed to drift off to sleep again and we all woke up around 8am to blissful sunshine breaking through the clouds.

We slept fairly well on our makeshift bed – we had the one in the “lounge” and it was massive, although not quite long enough for 6ft 3 Liam.

Some of us were much quicker to wake than others!

For our first breakfast we had hearty bowls of banana bread porridge and slowly got ready for the day.

After we were dressed and ready we hit the open road over to Glenridding and the Inn on the Lake which will be our beautiful wedding venue next December!

We chose our wedding venue last December and put the deposit down in March so we were yet to see the venue in glorious sunshine and of course it did not disappoint.

We spent some time walking around Ullswater lake in the sunshine before heading inside for our Afternoon Tea!

It was lush and MASSIVE but we managed to conquer most of it and they kindly gave us a box to take away the few bits we had left over.

With our bellies full and feeling very sleepy we headed down to the lake’s edge to lounge in the sunshine and dip our feet in the water.

Sitting there with friends overlooking the peaceful water it was hard to believe COVID was even a thing to worry about and I think for the first time in months we all felt properly relaxed.

After this we dragged our full bellies back to the campervan and to the supermarket once again for supplies. Tomorrow we have a long drive up to Loch Ness so we wanted to make sure we have everything we need ahead of the journey.

The rest of our day will be spent relaxing outside, playing card games and munching on tasty picnic items we picked up from the local shops.

A perfect way to relax!
