LAKE DISTRICT, NORTHERN ENGLAND 2018

Our Dad spend a lot of his childhood in the Lake District, climbing with his older brothers. I’d heard stories over the years, and had promised myself to visit there someday.

My sisters and I finally made the trip in the summer of 2018, during a heatwave (by English standards - it was 75F or 25C), and we only had ONE morning of light rain, apparently very unusual to not get more rain.

We rented a beautiful cottage in the town of Grasmere, and ventured to Ambleside nearby as well.
