An English Vacation in the Lake District: Meeting the Queen (well, almost), Visiting Wordsworth's Grave and a Stone Circle, and Climbing The Mighty Helvelyn

Published: Sept. 1, 2021, 11 a.m.

This podcast is just for fun.  It is about a vacation we took in England, in the Lake District.  We went with our dear German friend, Sibylle Laurischk.  It was a special vacation.  We met the Queen.  (Well, sort of.  She came while we were there and we were able to see her and Princess Anne).  We also climbed the mighty Helvelyn and avenged an earlier defeat when we had tried to climb it,  and failed.  We also learned the story of the Faithful Dog, who, as it turns out, was not all that faithful in the end. 

Well, off we go. 

Note:  Within a day or two I will put a text version of this, with photos, on Deep Blue.  See the short podcast on Deep Blue if you need information on how to access that.  The photos are great.
