Creepies and Crawlies
I was in the Lake District of England for work last week.
Tearfund needed extra volunteers to assist with operating a coffee stand at a conference, so I dragged my flat mate Brenda along by convincing her this would be a great holiday in the Lake District, and a nice break from busy London life.
Well.... by mid-week, Brenda has gone back to London and I'm exhausted. Talking to people all day, being nice and serving/running a coffee stand is hard work!
But, Brenda and I did manage to find some time for an adventure before she headed back to the city. We took a hike through the woods around Keswick.
Yes we are girly.
Creepy little slug thing. Ick.
7 days in Keswick and I must admit, I could get used to this lifestyle. Surrounded by beauty; the lakes, hiking, and fresh air. Although, I was beginning to get a bit antsy for the city. I was sharing a flat in Keswick with a 60 year old couple, and with Brenda gone, as much as I enjoy eating meals in front of the television and getting to bed a decent hour, I was beginning to feel like a pensioner. So... back to London it is. My life in the Lake District shall have to wait.
