The Lake District, Cumbria: fun, floods and Christmas...

You know that week Cumbria was in the news a lot because the floods there were so bad?

Well, that's the week I decided to take a trip to the Lake District to do some chalking...



Yep. I did.

Looking at all the leaves falling from the trees...


Falling (not creeping) over myself with shock because I've found another horrible bird that wants to chase me...


HE is creeping.


Quite fast...


Towards me.


*runs away*


Taking my mind off the swan by finding a new house for my sister Winny...

(There's room for one more next door...)


Finding a car ferry that will take us across Lake Windemere for a staggering 50p!


Hooray!


'On a ferry'


Finding the perfect reflection...


Finding gaps in the trees...


OOH.


Finding a John Peel pub and then realising it's not named after the well-respected DJ we thought it was...

(See old man above wearing a hat I've never seen the other John Peel in)


YAY!

Everyone loves mulled wine and mince pies, right?


The next day it rained an absolute tonne.


'Keeping dry in Ambleside'


LOOK AT IT

(There are even waterfalls in the cracks of our hiding place)


I'm never coming out again.


That is until...


We spot something worth venturing outside for...


Oh my giddy aunt.

SANTA TURNS ON AMB'SIDE FESTIVE LIGHTS


YOUR DAD IS COMING!


And look!


Someone has found something else worth venturing outside for!

A canoe ride!




Warming our feet because we now cannot walk/run/hop anywhere without squelching.


The next day we found a glove!

'Here's lies the body of my glove'

(It's not mine)


And we found Biskey Howe viewpoint!
 
Before it was quickly renamed (not by me, I might add)...


...Adam's Land


'I declare this land, Adam's land'


Byeeeeeeeeeeee


DOUBLE RAINBOW
