In love with a view
The company I work for has a long-standing tradition (nearly forty years) of sending groups of employees to the Lake District for fell-walking trips in the mountains. These trips are pure enjoyment - basically a free holiday. The accommodation was everything a cozy old stone cottage should be, the food and wine was abundant, the walks were gorgeous and satisfyingly exhausting, the weather was lovely, and the other people on the trip were great fun. Fantastic!
We adored the Lake District when we climbed there eight years ago. If possible, I love it even more now. Being built like a heavyweight wrestler, I'm not exactly made for tripping merrily up steep hills. But there is something so refreshing about days of sunshine, fresh air and physical exertion. Especially after spending most of my days as a desk jockey in a hermetically-sealed office environment. Besides, the views make up for the pain of the climb.
(song reference in the title, anyone?)

I think mojave 3 are playing here this week, actually. (but since the rest of my foreseeable life is booked, i will not be in attendance). s/times i think i get a bit desensitized to mountainous-type natural beauty living on the shore, but then, s/times not. that looks absolutely gorgeous! -T2
I feel like packing up the family and moving to the UK! Beautiful! Leah
