Lakes District
... after and we took a drive to Windermere for more photos and a quick walk. Everything combined to create some great scenery, the setting sun making golden the high fields, and the leave-less woods and trees.

(insert inflection of finally understanding). Nick is terribly gracious as well. He and I had ...
