My nth Birthday Celebration by Len
May 26, 2008 by lambertjjl
My ever so thoughtful husband took me to the Lake District on my birthday 17 days ago. It was a long drive, approximately 5 to 6 hour-drive from Norfolk. Although it wasn’t me who drove, I could say that it was all worth it.
The B&B to your left (Seaforth) in Blackpool was where we stayed for the night on the 9th, before finally heading off to the English Lakes on the 10th (my nth birthday). Jim was so tired (thank God, not sick, just tired) so I was thankful that the B&B provided a very comfortable double en-suite bedroom, although quite small compared to other B&Bs I’ve been to. I would highly recommend this place, though, for those who would like to visit Blackpool. The couple who run the place are two nice people who prepare sumptuous English breakfast!
The hills truly become alive there! This was taken whilst I was on top of the hill in Hawkshead. The place is so much like Tagaytay in the Philippines.
Whilst playing with my camera, Jim found the chance to sit down and relax.
It was so serene and peaceful there. No wonder the place is the home for many English authors and poets. It was, as Jim’s bestfriend Rhueben says, a magical place.
We walked into the woods to look for wild flowers and watch the birds.
A big kiss and a big thank you to my husband Jim for this beautiful gift on my birthday. I will never forget it…and who says we’re not coming back, Cumbria? See you again soon!
Note: Cumbria is a shire county in the North West of England. It is home to the Lake District National Park. To know more, please click here.
