Walking in beautiful surroundings is one of life's pleasures - alas, as I've had terrible knee problems this year I can hardly walk anywhere, and my husband has permanent disabilities as far as mobility goes, but it's good to look at pictures.... and hopefully I'll be able to get as far as the park by summer!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-84344691214188075132016-04-18T14:24:45.893+01:002016-04-18T14:24:45.893+01:00I too love the Lakes, though husband says it alway...I too love the Lakes, though husband says it always rains there and we have enough of that in Scotland!

The weather was horrendous - hurricane force winds, and horizontal rain (it WAS November!) and we did a lot of sitting if cosy cafes and pubs. On venturing out to look at the end of Ullswater one particularly stormy day, a land rover with an empty boat trailer screeched to a halt next to us, and a man with binoculars leapt out. His words? " you haven't seen a mirror dinghy with a red sail, have you? There's nobody on it!" You prompted the memory with your blog, and I'm halfway through writing a story about it now! Thanks for the reminder Wendy!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757427395450901090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-35579408921264046672016-04-18T13:15:57.768+01:002016-04-18T13:15:57.768+01:00Only been to the Lakes once, when I had my first e...Only been to the Lakes once, when I had my first experience of carriage driving, up above Ullswater - fantastic views.
