The Lake District, also known as Cumbria, is one of the most frequently visited weekender/holiday spots in England. It is picturesque country side, mountains, lakes, streams and walking trails etc. Claire and I visited there for Sat/Sun two weekends ago.
I had heard of the area from former UK residents, and most excitingly...from Elizabeth Bennett's visit their with her Aunt and Uncle in Pride and Prejudice, where she bumped into Mr Darcy! OK, have stopped swooning and am back.
I have photos of the counryside and sights, including churches from the 1500's etc to be posted later but at the moment we have me, with a FULL English breakfast. It was good!
All looks and sounds very English - including you

Very English - but is that a French hat you have on?
