I am currently in the Lakes District - visiting Jim (who I met during my Nepalese adventures). The weather here has been fairly average... Or, let's be honest: rather below average! However, I have learned to take the UK weather as it comes; we have had some nice afternoons, have toured the Lakes in the warm and dry environs of the car, (and enjoyed good company regardless of the weather).
It really is very pretty here: rolling hills, picturesque lakes, and... Trees! The little villages are really charming - although the major tourist locations are probably a bit OTT. It's amazing to drive around the narrow country lanes, and pass by a cottage that looks as if it just belongs there (and probably has done for a few hundred years!)
I've also taken the opportunity to add Picasa links (RHS of this blog page) - in response to my father's request... hope they work!
