It actually gives me a different kind of perspective on your own blog too!This morning I read your entry about Cornwall, which I barely know, but the Lake District is where a branch of my family lived and was my second home for years and years (suppose it still is really). You are spot on with your observation about the North being quieter, and I'm glad you wrote that, I always think people will be "put off" by Windermere/Ambleside/Bowness, but on the other hand, I'm glad the tourists stick to those places and leave the rest free for people who really appreciate the surroundings!I haven't been there in the Fall for years, like over 20 - and am planning to go this year so am hoping it's a good year for Autumnal color.Enjoying catching up with your blog, which I only discovered quite recently, so keep up the good work!

This morning I read your entry about Cornwall, which I barely know, but the Lake District is where a branch of my family lived and was my second home for years and years (suppose it still is really).

I haven’t been there in the Fall for years, like over 20 – and am planning to go this year so am hoping it’s a good year for Autumnal color.

Enjoying catching up with your blog, which I only discovered quite recently, so keep up the good work!

I was there last autumn and the colours in October are really spectacular.
