Crisis what Crisis

We decided to celebrate the opening of Kingfisher Lodge by going out with our friends Julie and Karen (Check out J&K's Jikiden Reiki site) into Bowness on Saturday night for an Italian meal at Villa Positano on Ash Street - 015394 45663 .

Even though it's hardly peak season just now we weren't able to book a table for Saturday night until 8:45! When we arrived the place was heaving and the staff were coping heroically with a huge number of people. It's a nice place and we had a great evening. No sign of the economic downturn in this restaurant.

We got up this morning and did a quick Dubbs Reservoir 5 miler to make up for the extra garlic bread. There are still a suprising number of flowers out - red campion and cornflowers especially, and the berries and hips keep the trees colourful. We made it before the promised gales put in an appearance.

Back home shortly and then to Liverpool on Wednesday for the finals of the North West Tourism Awards. The other web sites we are up against are all really high quality - so we are a really just going for craic (OK - with a sneaky hope that something amazing could happen). It should be a great evening anyway.
