Running away - again
Fed up, so we're running away for a few days. Nowhere special, just down to the Lake District. Not quite the weather for Fell walking, but we want to drop into 'Lakeland' to get some kitchen bits & pieces, and Dianne wants to buy some outdoor wear - probably in Keswick.We told our girls we were going, only to find that younger daughter + partner were running off to Valencia for a festival, and elder daughter is going to Seoul to speak at a conference.
Cumbria will just have to do us till later in the year!

Re: Running away - again
Oooh I'm envious. Have a fab time.I was considering running away next week for a few days, looking at Bournemouth, but I'm still waiting for a text from the bloke who does the computer courses: I've told him to start organising the new lot of pupils and waiting to hear on a start date. If I do go away, I would take a minimally small case on wheels, but go by coach. Might still defer by a few weeks.
Going crazy here. Feel like putting my feet up elsewhere and having my meals cooked for me, but money is still the issue.

BTW, I went into that Lakeland at Windermere, but of course they are now springing up everywhere. Quite expensive, but some good stuff.I really must get up to the LD myself. When there a fair few years ago I took the train, started in Windermere, then B&Bd in Ambleside and Keswick using a 5 day bus rover to get around. I remember some stunning scenery and would love to see it again.

Re: Running away - again
The Lake District is special - beautiful scenery, etc - if the weather is goodI'm off to Morecambe for the weekend on 7th March - hoping to do some walking perhaps in the Forest of Bowland but who knows might get to somewhere in the Lakes - nothing planned yet.
