My Adventures in the Lake District
Posted on 21/05/2014 by David in Fashion & Design Exhibitions.
Hello friends, It’s 10pm over here as I’m writing a very quick blog about my 2nd day in the Lake District. I’ve just had a truly amazing day which saw me and my boyfriend climb the Helvellyn mountains. It certainly wasn’t the Everest but it was a good 8 hour walk with the highest point reaching 950 metres/3,116ft and yes, I did a bit of mountain scrambling too which was fun when it was easy and not so much fun when it was right on the edge of the precipice *gasp*
Everyone seemed super equipped for the day except Lee and I who were wearing our shabby but comfortable pairs of jeans. No Me-Made-May’14 today I’m afraid, I’m sure I would have dazzled the adoring crowd around but it would have been a tad inappropriate.

Me at the top. Didn’t I look happy to have a break?
The scenery was absolutely outstanding…
And after the effort, time to chill by the lake for the two of us. Lee shows his “walk in the park” relaxed expression while I look well and truly f***ed.
Right, just stuffed my face at the same time as I wrote this and time now for a hot shower, some TV and then a good night sleep. Really wanted to share that moment and amazing place with you all. Legs are shattered but morale is high!
Have a great evening everybody!

Looks fab. Thought I may have seen you at NYlon sewing meet up in London. Great day.
I could not come to the event Sassy but I will be at the Makegood festival on May 31st as I already booked my ticket
Wow! How incredibly beautiful.
So agree, only wish I had a better camera to capture how beautiful it truly was!
Beautiful views.

i think you both look perfectly bucolic! can a person look bucolic? i suppose even in they can’t, in THAT setting, they can 🙂
It’s down to the beard I bet…it makes me look bucolic 🙂
Amazing landscape and pictures, when I went it was cold and rainy haha! You both look cool!
Ha, thanks! We were quite lucky overall Regina but that day was particularly sunny.
Magnifique site, cela me rappelle mon séjour près du lac de Génos Loudenvielle dans les Pyrénées il y a 3 ans environ….
Je m’aperçois que ta barbe a bien poussé, histoire de changer de conversation lol ! Lee toujours aussi beau 🙂
C’etait vraiment superbe comme site…et Lee a rougi de plaisir du compliment de sa belle-mere, lol
looks like it was a great and glorious day, even if it did mean sacrificing the london meetup 🙂
I know, it looks like it was a blast reading yours and Rachel’s blog!
