Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

It is, it's beautiful.
We've gone there the last 4 years now. We book a villa and have a holiday with our parents. It's becoming quite a tradition now :)

I've got 2 nights booked in a B&B in the Lake District...

September is China...2 weeks at my farm just outside Dalian, and then 2 weeks in Yunnan travelling around....can`t wait, getting a bit sick of the sand pit!

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

Enjoy. Sounds fab.

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

Whereabouts?

We've been to Keswick twice, it's gorgeous.
It's our second favourite place in the UK after Whitby.

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

You have a farm?

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

The only lake district i have been to is Windermere and that was donkey's years ago - but i remember we had an awesome time coz the weather was brilliant

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

what kinda farm?

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

Ambleside and Ullswater, but we've got family over who've never been to the Lakes so we'll do a fair bit of driving round. Just hope its not full of tourists, like us.

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

go to Lake Buttermere - its the nearest thing to paradise on earth !

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

'paradise on earth' and England, somehow i can't make that connection :lol:

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

In the UK it would be called a small holding, I have about 15 pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, which I raise for the table! And I do all the slaughtering etc...I even do hams and bacon!

Also we grow all our own veg and some fruits...with corn for feed for the animals, I find it extremely relaxing to be there...but do not spend any time there in the winter as it is to bloody cold.

I go there as often as possible, it is quite idyllic as there are about another 20 "farms" and I have got to be known and accepted into the community.

Re: To SCAMP et el :P
 

I used to go up to the Lakes with the sprogs quite often when they were young (only an hour-and-a-half from Bahtat territory), but I can't actually remember where we used to go.

Thanks for the suggestion -- we've got 2 nights / 3 days up there, so I think I'll need an itinerary, although it may have to take in the Peter Rabbit and famous touristy stuff to satisfy the Japanese visitors ...

Food's an important element, too, so if anyone has recent experience of really good restaurants / cafes / pubs, that'd be welcome.
