Lake District, Sep 2005

First time i saw i thought it looks like Scotland. well bigger mountains in the highlands of scotland, well they are very similar really, I feel more trees in the lake district.

I like the countryside, nice villages an towns, clean air, beautiful all year. The colour of the leaves on trees changes in Autumn.

Grasmere, a nice village, but very busy with tourist, the surrounding hills and lake are very beautiful. small ginger bread shop there, a lot of people know about it and buy from there.

Kendall is a busy market town. it is quite old fashioned, old church which is very peaceful.

We climb up the hills and look at the lakes from above, the gold sun shining on the water, wind in the trees making the leaves make a visual sound, Autumn leaves fall off, and I can feel the leaves under my feet when walking, I was relaxing, from tiring with all the walking.

That poem is by William Wordsworth:

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

I think his poems were written when he was living in lake district, so they make me think about the countryside there
