As never been and am super excited. I have noted that you preferred Bassenthwaite so will add that one to the list. I am definitely hoping to eat at the Bistro, love that sort of food, looks very yummy.Reading with Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014225256067169217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-17317132649504073792015-08-17T18:00:52.091+01:002015-08-17T18:00:52.091+01:00Ooh, this looks fabulous!

The two of them look so enthralled watching the alpacas wander around the fields, it's fab. It looks like the lakes were great places to stop and look around on the way home, Bassenthwaite looks a lot more appealing than Keswick but I'm sure they were both beautiful.
