On Golden Pond

Lonsdale Lake
Many of you have heard Dad and I talking about a film we love called "On Golden Pond" starring Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda, where a grumpy old man and his unlikely young apprentice set out in the pursuit of 'Walter' the mythical monster trout.
Inspired by this Dad is in pursuit of his very own Walter - a monster carp resident in the Willows on our sister site.
But I think for me, our own Golden Pond has to be Lonsdale in the spring and summer evenings when the sun is low in the sky, the birds have their chicks in tow, and the carp are crusing just beneath the surface.

If you haven't already watch the film, it's a classic!
In fact if I might have to put copies in the cottages...
