A Lakeland Holiday

Looks like you had a really wonderful holiday Carole. It is certainly a beautiful area, I went there myself last year. So picturesque.

Lovely interesting happy blog, wonderful xx x

Thanks Cinderella, its a a wonderful place so much to see and so near too;0)

Thanks Pam pleased you enjoyed the blog;0)

lovely blog, with lovely pictures of the gardens and your visit to the lakes. Love the Lake District, happy holiday memories for me.

Thanks Olive lovely memories for me too, dont think I could ever tire of it;0)

Absolutely lovely. isn't it great that some places don't change?! I love Ambleside so much. It was where I saw my first ever red squirrel...on the walk up the waterfall at the back of the village....beautiful!

Levens Hall looks amazing. Lord and Lady Strathmore (Glamis Castle) were there recently and brought us back photos. I think they are hoping we can make their walled gardens look just as beautiful....time will tell!

Karen, I know that walk well, we love Ambleside too and that pretty bridge house, Pp is the National Trust shop still inside the bridge house? So glad you all had a good time together, I can imagine the laughs you had! :)

Thanks Karen and Grandmage It was all magnificent.and the Bridge House is sttill a Tourist Information Centre Karen just wish I had read more about the place before we visited'0)

Good one,Carole..you have written a lovely blog,and your photo's captured the places perfectly..I have no idea who the people are..but didn't they scrub up well ? Lol.
It's nice to see we each took some different pics too ...Where are we going next? ..We've been browsing ! Lol xx

Thanks Sandra, who ever they are look nice people to know lol a bit snowed under wth the cough and cold easing a little so will have a browse with the coming week;0)

Looks a lovely place carole, glad you all had a lovely break....

It's always a pleasure to see what you have been up to on your ' away ' days Carole , they always look to be so interesting and fun ,I liked that Bridge house as well ,I wonder if we could still get away with that trick to avoid land tax today ? I'm glad you had a lovely time :o)) x

Thanks Holly we certainly did;0)

We make the most of every minute Amy. Im sure the government have thought of a way to charge even if it is built over water, they never miss a trick to coin it in;0(

Very nice Carole. I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday :o) and thank you for showing more photos of Levens Hall. It's a very interesting building to look at.

Thank you Hywel, Levens Hall is certainly a place to visit again, the gardens especially fantastic vistas at every turn;0)

Thank you for putting this together. It was lovely to see some of my favourite familiar places again.

John lost his sunglasses when on board that steamer -did you see any? They weren't a great loss -he doesn't go in for designer gear!!!

Oh,were they his,Chris ? .shame,they fit Russell so well ! Lol x

Now I know where Russell got his new Sunglasses from loI!

Finders,keepers! Lol.I bet Harry is so jealous :o) x

Oh he is he is lol will contact you later today [still feeling rough].

Oh dear,Carole..I tried ringing you on Saturday morninga couple of times but you were engaged..sorry to hear you are still not feeling well..I'm meeting Waddy today for lunch,but will be home later this afternoon....or this evening..?take care xx

Hope you're feeling better now Carole? Great blog af a fantastic place and don't you all look tanned. In fact, I think you're both having too good a time and I think it's bad for you. Next thing you know you'll be off gallivanting again ...and no ... I'm not jealous:-))))

Lovely blog Carole ... a part of the country we have not visited for many years ... you all look so hale and hearty too! Hope your cold has gone now ... :o)

Really enjoyed your blog Carole, Ian and me had a very similar holiday in June, also visited Levens, isnt it amazing to see the huge topiary, and so old! We then travelled up to Ullswater and had lunch at the tea house by the bridge....happy memories.......
