AlexIce, I had the best time in the Lakes staying over the New Year, it was snowing on the journey up there. I went with an outdoors activity group, we went out walking every day and some sightseeing. However, I can see that we were lucky to enjoy light, brisk not too cold weather whereas it could have been constant rain, freezing cold and storms.
I seem to indulge in treats for getting through each week, but for the stones a nice piece of costume jewellery from Butler and Wilson.
