Day 2, sorry it's late, I didn't get home until 3am 😴 A long but amazing day!!! Wandering around another one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries of London. Then to see a band I've loved since I was a teenager and the whole reason I was in London anyway.
Lazy day today!

⛵Day 2: A lot of walking We went on a steam boat built in 1902, ate lobster (if you can't have a posh dinner for your birthdays when can you?!) followed by a cocktail each and watched the sunset at Orrest Head
🚌Day 3: A full day coach tour visiting 10 of the 16 lakes followed by the evening relaxing watching a film in the hotel.
🖼️Day 4: Spent the morning perusing the art galleries in Grasmere and sitting in the village green

Breakfast, coffee and looking at what's on offer.
I usually come away with a ready made itinerary for the whole holiday, but this time I'm doing it on the fly so our first stop this morning was Windermere Information Don't forget about local tourist information centres, the staff are always so helpful, with their guidance we've booked a sightseeing tour around the 10 lakes tomorrow. Although I absolutely adore my car it'll be nice to sit back and enjoy the scenery and make use of someone else's planning for a change 😍

It'd really help if people on TikTok could give me a follow.
As you may know, TikTok sometimes pays it's content makers.but we have to hit certain goals first. My aim is for TikTok to pay for my domain and occasionally business cards but I need people to follow me to hit their thresholds.
