Wow. We arrived here after dark last night, so I didn\u2019t have much chance to see the surroundings. You have to remember that I have spent most of my life living in a flat low country, Belgium and that although I now live in Yorkshire, we don\u2019t live in a very hilly bit. I can only repeat \u2018wow\u2019. This Lake District place isn\u2019t like anywhere I\u2019ve really seen before. There are hills that are so close they block out the view. I suppose in reality they are the view. It reminds me a bit of the trip we did to Switzerland but it\u2019s much greener and more dramatic here than the bit of Switzerland we were in. If I\u2019m being honest I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen so much green all in one place. There are also lots of sheep, including some very cute little ones. I\u2019ve asked my mistress if I could have my own lamb to take home, but it seems that the answer is no.<\/p>\n
Fortunately I\u2019ve seen most of the view from indoors so far. My Master and Mistress didn\u2019t want to get up too early, so although my Mistress got up to take me outside to select a bit of green to pee on, she as happy to let me come back to bed again afterwards. I\u2019m glad that I haven\u2019t been expected to be too energetic before lunch, it does interfere with my napping pattern when someone wants to walk too early. I need to conserve my energy because from the map we\u2019ve been looking at, my afternoon walk is going to be much longer than I usually do. I wonder if I can have a piggy back if I get tired. I\u2019ve got my own little rucksack, with water bottle and food, so I should be all right if it gets to teatime and we aren\u2019t back at the hotel.<\/p>\n
