The path along the lake is a quiet but lovely one.
Glancing up the slope, the sun shining through the trees has an illuminating effect.
There is a boathouse down here, painted in the same cream yellow colour we find elsewhere on the estate.
Stepping inside, we find the interior. This was used by King and his visitors for canoeing, and for changing for swimming or fishing.
Just a few minutes here has a calming effect on the mind and heart. I completely understand how he felt about being here.
A short walk beyond the boathouse are stone steps leading into the water. I always look for the ferns adjacent to them; when I came this way with Tom and his wife one May years ago, the ferns here were just starting to unspool for the spring.
So lovely and soothing, William.
