Lake District (With Pictures)

On the drive we saw these misty mountains
And once we arrived unloaded our trunk


then set up camp

we admired windermere and skimmed stones

Our campsite even had a marsh

with lots of winding road

and many a fence encountered

along with real tepees

with many a field of sheep
and with many a cow

and a visit to Low Wray Castle

where we played life-size checkers
We took this path to Sawrey though the forest

and through this field

We arrived at this pub delighted with their acceptances of our muddy wellies

and collapsed by this stove while we played cards and ate lunch

We visited Hilltop, where Beatrix Potter called home

and took the footpath away and despite being wet through and through

found ourselves exceedingly happy

with views like this through trodden paths

to the ferry to go to Bowness

where all was idyllic save the savage swans
[I know, I know, my phone DID delete them, but Monday morning they reappeared and I was elated.]

That is wonderful. Though Fran looks alternatively angry or suspicious. I'll take your word that he was happy.
