The Lake District

I have just got back from a short family holiday in the Lake District. The weather was gorgeous and this made the whole trip go very well indeed. I had been anxious prior to going about staying in a youth hostel with a family (and fell-walking with a young jockey swinging from my shoulders).

As it turned out I need not have worried YH Ambleside had a lovely family room full of old toys... and the fells were so beautiful and fascinating in the bright sunshine that we tripped up the hills.
