THE LAKE DISTRICT

Day 108 - 109
The Lake District
Windemere

After catching four trains we finally arrived in the Lake District! The sign told us that anyway. I wasn't sure what to expect in the Lake District, with the only thing i knew being that Beatrix Potter lived her last years writing Peter Rabbit and farming here. Oh and that William Wordsworth was born here.

I'd also heard it was very, very pretty.

And had lots of very beautiful lakes!

So...when we arrived after catching the four trains i was sort of thinking it would be nice to be able to stay for a few days and just 'be' for a while. I was feeling fatigued and with all the country air feeling like i just wanted to breathe it in for a bit and enjoy being in one place for a while. Travelling can be so exhausting when you're up and going every couple of days. So I wanted to STAY once we'd arrived.

The only thing is, Windermere is only a little place. And they don't sell travel scrabble or canasta either. So i'm sort of looking forward to getting to Edinburgh....Greg's recovering slowly from his flu and sinus problems and i think needs to rest as well. He would like to stop for a while in Ireland. And it's apparently a lovely place there so we'll probably have a week in one spot there. I can't wait!!!

The little things that are exciting.....a place to call home..for a whole week!
