Lake Dunstan . . .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake. After taking Finney for a walk, we had a delicious meal of meatballs and spaghetti, with a couple of glasses of yummy wine. Because Finney likes to sit by us, Bruce made up a seat for her between our seats using the cushions I had made. When she sat up (like she loves to do) and gave the impression she was human, Bruce was naughty and put one of her biscuits on the table. When I spoiled their fun by taking it away, Finney gave up and settled down for a sleep.

We woke up to a very frosty morning, not that it worried us as the central heating in the motorhome made us feel very cosy indeed. As we were finishing breakfast, we were treated to the most glorious sunrise reflecting on both the mountains and the lake. From the warmth of our wee home, we also got to gaze at the waterfowl that glided effortlessly before us. I particularly loved the black swans and was amazed to see that their wings were mostly white when they flapped them.

After we had cleared away the breakfast things and washed the dishes, we headed down to the lakeside for a walk. It was really breathtakingly beautiful, although as well as the hat and jacket I was wearing, I wished I had also taken my gloves. Bruce and Finney did a bit of mountaineering, but I was happy to wait by the lakeside. We finished our walk by chatting to a couple of fishermen as they inflated their boat, they reported that they have caught lovely trout and salmon in the lake.

After a cup of tea, we finally said goodbye to the lake at 11.30am. It was so restful that we were in no hurry at all to leave and are determined to return again one day.
