sheep safely grazed......

I am just back from the Lake District.The secret of holidays in beautiful places is to stay with lovely friends like M and D who have recently moved up there, as they know all the good places to visit. The countryside was  simply stunning, the sheep safely grazed, the valleys were exalted and we lifted our eyes up to the hills, all this plus more daffodils than even Wordsworth encountered.  We did a bit of circle dancing, a bit of singing over the washing up, and we spent time in nearby Dent where theTerrible Knitters of Dent used to hang out  (who kidnapped children apparently and coerced them into endless knitting,with a special wooden gadget tucked into their skirts)   We had poetry with breakfast and the sun shone all the time. What more could anyone ask?
