Wow. I had never truly visited the Lake district before ( bar a half-day field trip back in my hazy art school days ) I fell in love with it. I booked a cottage in Bowness-on-Windermere for me and the familia for two weeks, and spent most of the time with the brood on daytrips to the likes of Coniston, Ambleside, Ravenglass, Grasmere etc, and had a great day every day despite the constant presence of Mordor skies and oppressive rainfall....
