Baby, it's cold outside!

Today was such a beautiful day in Cumbria, England…bloody cold…but beautiful!
It was stunning with that mix of frost and sunshine.

We wanted to go for a walk so we decided to go to a place called Talkin Tarn; a lake on the outskirts of Carlisle.

Considering it's sort of in 'the middle of nowhere', it is surprisingly popular; especially on days like today.

There is a cafe and shop but most importantly…they have ice-cream. Not just any ice-cream…they have English Lakes Ice-cream. If you're anything like me, I will eat ice-cream no matter what the weather!

Back to my happy place =)

Pumpkin Carving - Halloween

It's Halloween tomorrow!

The classic tradition of pumpkin carving is a must and is surprisingly lot's of fun. There aren't actually any children in our house but I love any excuse to feel like a kid again.

Very funny Damian…

Well there you have it…the finished product. 

Surely it wouldn't be inappropriate for a 21 year old to go trick-or-treating?

Happy Halloween!

Grasmere - The Heart of the Lakes

This was a wee while ago now but I can't help but share one of the most beautiful places - ever.

Damian and I decided to make the most of the sun and walk around Grasmere.
I was born there so it is my pride and joy!

The walk around the lake takes up to an hour…or a few if you stop for a cheeky picnic.

...By the time we got back to the villiage we were ready for a cold drink. We went to 'Tweedies Bar' who do a good ol' pint. We relaxed in the beer garden, under the sun, watching time go by.

I only captured moments around the lake and Tweedies but no doubt I'll be back soon to take more. The village is quaint with unique gift shops, lovely tea rooms, plenty of outdoor shops and of course Grasmere Gingerbread…oh my.

Until next time….. :)
