As opposed to Love is All Around...anyone remember that song? Anyway....everyone and their dog, or I should say cat is sick here. So far I am keeping myself fairly healthy...am tired but surviving. Another reason for a leisurely morning watching Corrie. Simon, the B and B host was sick over Xmas, his wife had H1n1....she was ill as well and as she is a nurse they tested her at work and sure enough..so even though the symptoms are gone she is off work. Even their three cats have cat flu! My friend Irene was sick over Xmas and New Years....fingers crossed I stay healthy. I am taking my vitamins and using antibacterial lotion and gel like a mad woman. Of course if I got ill and my trip home was delayed...hmmm..nah....want to get back and see my friends and get back to work and make some money.....
While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep? Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker. I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that. While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards. And there I found my walk. After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.) Okay, I may not have totally...
