Crystal Lake, Newton, Massachusetts

Here is Marguerite relaxing on a recent visit to Crystal Lake.  Crystal Lake is a beautiful natural lake in Newton Highlands, Massachusetts.

Getting to Crystal Lake is simple, just jump on the 'T' at Winchester St and head outbound and before you know it ............. 








.............. you're out in the sticks and into the beautiful countryside of Massachusetts.  Here is Marguerite as she makes her way down the street to the lake.   

 

So Crystal Lake is this great big scenic lake which local folk can go to to relax and chill out for the day. 







These two are taking thon relaxing lark to a whole new level at the moment mind you.  Their (perfectly good) excuse is that they are re-charging their batteries before the revolution in late October / early November.






Here are Jude's hard worked feet laying up, re-charging and catching a few rays.











Here is the view from the floating walkway / jumper-offer thingy.  The facilities at Crystal Lake are great, showers, shop, wee beach and even a full lifeguard program.   










So before long Jude spots a hand rail and before you can say 'this is a beautiful day' ........








.......... he's in like Flynn ..............

......... well nearly.  Hold on a cotton pickin minute, he's checking the temperature again with his toes ....

'Ah Jeez ...... ah bloody hell ..... ah shit ..... don't be taking me pic here naaiy, I look like a right geek ....ah jeez .....

The water was actually really warm.  Check out the lifeguard stand in the background, it was comforting to know that should you happen to cop an unfortunate one the lifeguards would be there to fish ye out!!! 

'Naiiy ........  peace at last ...... thank goodness he's away for a swim outta my road for 5 minutes' ....... 

........ 'I'll get my head showered and read my book for 5 minutes'. 

 

'Bout ye ...... wha?

The peace is ruined for Marguerite as Phelpsy reappears in the background. 

'It's Magic ..... this place is just sick .... it's got rails, warm water, the heap', says Jude.  Then he had an idea.

'Naiiy Marguerite .... you be ready with yer finger on the clicker and when I say GO you grab a cool pic of me piling in just like those divers at the lympixx as they are in mid flight', said Jude. 

 'Go naiiy'.

Talk about making a big splash!!!! Unfortunately a Chinese diver he is not, and with such an unclean entry like that, he's lucky if he gets one point.







'What an absolute melter he is', said Marguerite as she sat over reading her book on the wee beach.








'Who me?

'Here Marguerite, this place is sick, it's magic altogether ..... can we come back tomorrow? rambled Jude.    
  






Marguerite has certainly got her $5 worth out of thon seat she's parked on.  $5 she paid for that back in the summer of '09.  She can spot a bargain that one ye know!!!

'Don't say this too loud naiiy ...... but I think he's right you know .......... finally after all these years .....  he's finally right' ...............

.......... 'this place really is beautiful', thought Marguerite as she stared out over Crystal Lake.
