My favourite place in all the world. And I was able to go - hurrah! It was hard to say goodbye as I never know what the future holds.
We had a wonderful 6 days plenty of rain and some sunshine. All our travel plans went well on the way there and we arrived to be met by our lovely taxi man. The hotel couldn't have made us more welcome and went out of their way to make sure that I had plenty to eat! Even leaving tomatoes out of everyones soup one evening so that I could have it. We had a little apartment which was so lovely and gave Paul space to sit in when i was having a rest. Not that he used it much as he walked. Chloe arrived safely on Thursday - her journey had been a little more adventurous and involved 2 phone calls to the taxi company to say she would be late. It was lovely to have her with us. We walked, went on bus trips, boat trips, shopped, visited Wordsworth's house, walked some more, watched lambs, walked some more and ate SO MUCH! It was perfect in every way. We had plenty of rain but it didn't stop us doing anything and we even had a day of sunshine. Everything was just as I had remembered and I felt so very thankful to be able to go. I have stored a whole heap of forever memories. I very much hope to be able to go back but if not those memories are stored away to bring to mind when needed.
The mountains and lakes so remind me of the wonderful creator we have who unconditionally loves me. I love that the scenery doesn't change - a testament to the unchanging nature of God. He is and was and is to come. Those mountains were there long before I was and they will be there for my grandchildren and great grandchildren long after I am gone.
