The Lake District

Over commercialised and full of tourists and the landscape is disappointing

I like the lake district landscape.  It may not be overly dramatic but it is beautifully proportioned.  Best seen by foot.

Err...if it didn't rain much there would be no lakes. Silly



An interesting read.

A bloke got a copy of the original stone walls which were left when it was flooded. He did hundreds of copies and knocked them out for 50p a throw. There's only one road down the side of the reservoir, he didn't miss a single car, and the place was packed.
   

We were there Happy

We first went up to Cumbria on a whim in 1988/89, and liked it so much we went back at least twice every year for the next 10 years. 

A couple had their barn converted about 5 miles outside Kendal, and we were one of  their first customers for the accommodation.

The rent she charged was far too low compared to other places, but she said she'd rather keep it occupied than be empty for some months.

By the end of year one you had to phone on January the 1st to get a booking for August as it was that cheap.

The rent only went up £20 in 10 years, to £140 a week. Cheap as chips for a 3 bed place in private grounds.

They had a gigantic bungalow nearby, and when we went in to return the keys after our first visit, Mrs CMAT said 'Rosie, your lounge is gigantic.'  It had a large three piece suite, a massive table and two other armchairs in it, plus a load of cabinets and large ornamental pots.

Rosie laughed and said 'This is the entrance hall dear.'  Laugh

Alice in Wonderland syndrome?

People may experience Macropsia which is a condition where the individual sees everything larger than it actually is.

Magic mushrooms have a similar effect.

I don't do 'recreational' drugs, never have, and never will, and neither does she, or she wouldn't be my Mrs, and I was with her.

No entrance hall either in any of my houses or any of my mates houses is that large.

At the other end of the scale, when her younger sister got her first house, Mrs CMAT first said 'What a lovely large hall.'

The staircase was in the lounge Laugh
