Friday, 26 Sept.: On to Stone

We packed up, tidied up, and left Ambleside about noon to travel south for our stay with Peter and Margaret Sage in Stone. Don't let me leave out their dog Tilly--a really cute Norfolk Terrier--and visiting friend, Ted, a Border Terrier. We went for a nice long walk along the canal
and got to see a small group of nearly grown cignet swans
and lots of "narrow boats!"

Walked into Stone and had a drink at the pub, then got to watch someone opening the lock to get their boat through.

It was an absolutely beautiful sunny and mild evening after our rainy day in the Lakes yesterday. Got a shot of Hal and Margaret deep in conversation,
and I think Peter was calling the dogs in this one.
I will get some better pictures of friends and pups in days to come. Margaret is cooking up lasagna for dinner and I can hardly wait :-)
