Si and I decided to go away for a few days and visit the Lake District. It was lovely: just lovely. To be outdoors in amazing country-side: at a time when the trees were beginning to turn crisp and Autumnal. I know the Lake District very well, having lived there for four years, while I studied at university in Ambleside.

John Ruskin’s home Brantwood…
Beatrix Potter’s home Hill Top…

Seeing amazing waterfalls…
