I wandered lonely as a cloud

Not that we actually looked into Wordsworth's house, and not that there were any daffodils were about at the time, but we did look at the outside of Dove cottage. We had a nice we tour around part of the Lakes district with Pam and Andrew, although it did start with a bit of a hiccup. We were going to go to Hilltop farm (where Beatrice Potter lived) but although we all read the guide book none of us noticed that it is closed on Fridays! But we were still able to see lots of scenery and we had a nice walk around Tarn Hows (a lake).

The scenery is quite different from NZ. The farmland had cute stone walls instead of fences which are soo cool. and there always seem to be cows and sheep in the same paddock. around the lakes, although the mountains aren't very high (no snow at this time of year), they're still quite dramatic and they're beautiful reflections of the mountians in the lakes.

It was quite rainy and misty which kinda gives a cool feel to it. Although we got enough clear spells to eat our lunch in the dry and have a reasonably dry walk. We had lunch by Conniston water and continued driving north past Grassmere which is where Dove cottage is.

We got to Castlerigg stone circle which is near Keswick. Its really cool because you can go right up to the stones and touch them. There was a great view from there of the mountains right around the stone circle.
