Next Stop Cumbria

Photo: 1280x1024desktopwallpapers

I'm headed to the UK for a week beginning today. I will be driving to Sharrow Bay in the west of England lake country and using it as a base while I visit a couple of textile mills and try to find my way to Thomas Mahon's digs. I will also be seeing new and old friends in and around London.

The trip will mean altogether too much car time but hopefully there will be enough light for photography. The post schedule should continue uninterrupted.

Very beautiful countryside.

I have to disagree; there's never too much car time driving through the lake country :)

My dear chap: such a shame you will not be coming through London. I would be most happy to take you for a coffee or perhaps (if your schedule allowed) Afternoon Tea at Fortnum & Masons [better than the Ritz] in Piccadilly.

Sharrow Bay's a nice hotel. Their sommelier, Nicolas Chieze, is especially good. Try to explore around Ullswater and enjoy Warwick Hall too!

Be sure to try the copious varieties of local ales!

And bring a coat, possibly of the Barbour variety.

Hope you're coping with the snow here. The entire transport system in London has shut down today.
