Last weekend I had a wonderful trip to the Lake District to see a great friend who has moved to Kendal.
The train journey there was a little fraught as there was a delay and both connections, Manchester Piccadilly and Lancaster, were only achieved by a burst of running. Whew! First real exercise for ages!
Jane was there to greet me at the station and we did the usual girly squeakings on meeting. I hadn't been to Kendal for years and it was fab to see all the old stone buildings and little streets, with the mountains looming in the distance. It's a harsh landscape but so starkly beautiful.

| Can't see on this, but there's still snow on them thar hills! |

| So many lovely shops, so little time ... |
We spent the weekend walking, driving, eating lovely veggie food, drinking wine and visiting so many galleries and charity shops. The only sorrow there was that I had no luggage room to bring home all the bargains I saw. I bought a couple of little items to repurpose and intend to return at a later date with a big empty suitcase to fill. Roll on the summer and Woolfest!
