Maddie all packed and ready to go (new backpack!)The lakes district is just beautiful, and I can vouch for its very different beauty in both Spring and Winter now. Between Christmas and New years we headed up there for five days of relaxation. Well.. that was the plan. It ended up being fairly busy, but it was all fun. Each day consisted of a sleep in, late breakfast, and then a drive through the amazing countryside to a different location each time, for a walk in the absolutely freeeeezing temperatures, but always finished with de-frosting time at a local restaurant or cafe for a hot tasty meal, or coffee and a cake... perfect!
We met up with some friends of the Pollocks, Rick and Ruth and their gorgeous son Xavi. Maddie and Xavi were like long lost pals.. they played beautifully and loved every minute of each others company. On new years eve they stayed up late and put on a 'dance concert' in Xavi's room for the adults. Was hilarious!
New years eve was very quiet and simple, stayed up until midnight and watched the fireworks go off around the bay, from the Rick and Ruth's balcony.
