A weekend in the Lakes

I don't usually get the chance to put up lovely photos of the countryside like a lot of other blogs I read because I live in the centre of Manchester, but lucky lucky me went on a hen-do this weekend to the Lake District and I had a very lovely time indeed.

Now I'll spare you all of the photos I took, some are probably not best put on a nice safe blog about crocheting!!! However, the little enormous cottage we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous and I can't believe the owners don't want to live there all the time :-o



This was Fell Gate Farm where we stayed, unfortunately we never made it to the Fell but I'm sure it was lovely, the views we had certainly were!







So, in through this beautiful wooden door...



Into the cosy sitting room with this amazing fireplace, and look!! Heart bunting. Ooooooooh :-)



Through to the kitchen with it's lovely Aga!



The owner had even put some pretty tulips in a vase!



Bulbs in the garden were just starting to come out



And we found a little pond with a duck house!



We visited Lake Windemere on Saturday and even though I took several photos, I think this one is my favourite (even though it's also out of focus!)



We had a very posh afternoon tea with champagne which was verrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice, and spent a lot of time enjoying our lovely house and having a very silly time!



Now I'm very very tired but looking forward to sharing some crochet updates soon :-)
