LakeDistrict - Blogabond

Waking up early (or, rather, being WOKEN up early when my dear mother began banging around in the kitchen at six in the morning) ensured that my sleep-deprivation was not alleviated and signalled the start of an amazing day.

Later on, my dad and I wandered around the awesome little town, buying me warm winter-wear and replenishing my brother’s toilet paper supply. The town is really cool: small, but big enough, filled with charming streets and tastefully made up to resemble a Christmas greeting card.

It wasn’t long before we had to set off for the Lake District, and my mom, my dad and I all piled into the car. And, being on this side of the long-distance flight, I found it easy to appreciate the masses of snow. Everything looked stunning!!

You know those places you find on the internet – there’s one amazing, picturesque photograph of the scenery, and when you arrive there you realise that’s actually the only view in the area that is worthwhile? Well, that is exactly what the Lake District isn’t.

Around every corner lies a new postcard-worthy sight. My biggest dilemma was trying to extract the best photos from my magnitude.

A single night is this area was simply not enough.
