We Wish You A Merry Easter
Once again I find myself having written plenty of blogs in my head but none actually on the compooper. Ah well, I fear such is life.
It has been a lovely snowy Easter up here in the wild northern reaches of the UK (and I gather probably a lot more snowy in many other areas). We've woken to a beautifully icing-sugared lawn two out of the last three mornings and the hills (for no longer do any of the peaks in the lake district count as mountains - cue Hugh Grant film...) are lovely and white - some are WHITE others are patchy white, lovely and mottled.
My parents visited over the weekend which was good but tiring.
Today we went out with the ever delightful Snoo and Hub, sampling the delights of Cockermouth, a marvellous tea room (cake, cake, CAKE) and a very bank holiday Keswick. I'd never been to Cockermouth before (though it had always appealed). It is a very pretty little town, in quite a rural, working sort of way. We wandered the main street for a while (enjoying a very good toy shop...I always want lego...and playmobil...stunted childhood?!) befor
e heading out of town to a tea room at a working farm. Fantastic. I was very giddy to be seeing Snoo and Hub and then to see so much cake too...I was a little silly...

Sadly it turns out I wasn't getting on so well with the camera so the pictures really don't do it justice.
Tomorrow, Husbink starts work. Maybe I will hear from the agency too. How much do I not want to!? But doing something would be good...

Cake? Yes please
Oooh, I miss the Lakes. We used to go there every year, mostly to Grange at the far end of Derwentwater. *sigh* Hope you had a lovely time!

suncloud - always cake...mmm! no cake today yet! :(
Ellie - sorry! It is beautiful - almost more in the bad weather (like today) when it is rugged too. But you have MANY beautiful places to discover there!
