I bet that you can guess where I went by just looking at the next couple of photographs. Come with me through the garden gate.

Climb every mountain
The reason we had chosen the Lake District for our mini break was that hubby fancied a bit of hill walking - with me tagging along. Because we didn't want to use the car very much, we chose to walk from Bowness up to Windermere, and walk up and around School Knott - about 7 miles in total.

Morecombe Bay
Well done! We have indeed spent a lovely few days at Lake Windermere in Cumbria. On our way up, we stopped off at the Midland Hotel in Morecombe - somewhere I've wanted to visit since its refurbishment by Urban Splash (the company that are doing up the flats in Sheffield)
I wasn't disappointed - the hotel is a fabulous art deco building and looked magnificent against the backdrop of so much blue!
Inside, the architecture makes you feel very much like you are on a ship.

After a swift cuppa, we strolled along the pier outside which overlooks Morecombe Bay.

We stood and watched the tide race in before we resumed our journey.

So much blue!

A lovely break
Hubby and I managed to snatch a 3 day mini break away. I can honestly say that I literally enjoyed every minute og the last 3 days - it was perfect in every way. Can you guess where we went?
This was the view from our hotel bedroom - I couldn't take my eyes of it.

Play Day
I had great fun today at the wonderful studio's Hope & Elvis. We were taught how to make delightful free stitching pieces by the ever so talented (and patient) Janet Clare.
