the Lake District

took a bus tour today to the Lake Dsitrict - fondly called Cumbria here and it is the idyllic english countryside of rolling hills and the proverbial patchwork quilt, lambs, cows and dry-stone walls.

the Conservation centre was full of rhinos, giraffes, lions, tigers and assorted monkeys. It was a pleasant day witht he sun shining and the animals seemed content enough. The big thrill was mum got to feed a ring-tailed lemur from Madagascar who were allowed to roam throughout the park at will. the are very smart and entertaining. One came over to inspect me and the pack and was very interested in undoing zippers.

Mum spent most of the time sitting while I wandered around but I guess in the big picture she enjoyed herself.

Got back to R and Ds to find that my flight to Krakow with Wizz Air had been cancelled. they will refund my money. I booked immediately with good ald Easyjet and leave one day later than planned.

So I am of to Wales tomorrow for the day - try another country at least. I think I willgo and see the waterfalls at Bettswy Coed and noodle around Llandaff and possibly Black Rock sands....we shall see.

The plot thickens
