Our time in Windermere

After another bus journey through some magnificent scenery we arrived to a rather cool and wet Windermere. The bus did have some difficulty navigating the tight roads but we did get there eventually!
The school is set on a steep hill with beautiful old buildings.
As the local pool is closed for renovations it is soccer and netball only on this stop. All girls got involved in these games.
The first game was a soccer match straight after our arrival. It was a tight affair with the score nil all after the full time whistle. The heavens opened within a minute of the final whistle so we all scurried down the hill to shelter. The girls headed off with their billets, or for some, to the boarding house for the night.
The following morning was free time with billets or for the "lucky" ones they spent the morning with the staff.....
Our afternoon was an action packed netball game. As the weather was still rather damp we played inside. Unfortunately the school had just had a power outage so the game was played in dim conditions until the power was returned at 3/4 time. As we spread all of the girls through out the game the score line was up and down. With our stronger team on in the final quarter we surged to a comfortable lead winning 44 to 30.
