It was such fun spending time with Amanda – it was the first time I’d met a blogging buddy, and it was lovely how we felt we knew each other already!
I couldn’t leave this beautiful area without sharing some pictures of it, so I stopped by Bassenthwaite lake to take some photos. I spent quite a bit of time in the Lake District as a child, as my father worked in Grasmere a lot, and I have many fond memories of our visits there.
However, I did end up feeling rather like a character in a Jane Austen novel this weekend – the type of character who catches a chill from not wrapping up warmly enough, is almost dead by chapter three, but then recovers only to appreciate the foolishness of her previous ways … I’m not almost dead, and I’m quite fond of my foolish ways, but I did catch a chill, either from not wrapping up warmly enough, or maybe from just being too much of a soft southener!
what a lovely photo – and beautiful landscape shots.
Spending time with blogging buddies in real life is just the best. I’m so glad you had that experience too!
Isn’t it great meeting blog buddies in real life!
Great photos – love the cow!
Awwww, you girls look so cute
SO glad you got to meet each other. Love the pics of the lake too.
You two look so happy together! Makes me wish I was there,too.
The two of you look very happy, sounds like a wonderful trip all round – that haul was a great one!
So glad you had a lovely weekend at Woolfest. Loving the photos!
Oh we had such a fantastic time! Lily and I loved spending the weekend with such a like-minded soul. I really did feel that I knew you already. And hey, we look pretty normal on that photograph don’t we?
We do look pretty normal, but I’ve just noticed some weird stuff coming out of our heads – were we being electrocuted without realising it?
Hmmm, I didn’t notice the “weird stuff” until you mentioned it! Hopefully, it was to program you to buy more yarn!
I *love* your pictures of the Lake District! How lovely!!
You and Amanda look sooooo happy! I’m glad you two got to meet each other.
