And we took a walk at sundown, and <i><b>huge</b> black leeches came out and crawled everywhere we stepped</i>. But still charming in the daytime, and I'm so glad that your family discovered the Off Roader, so you can discover more of your beautiful country (which I want so badly to visit again some day)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-61424316768176854832009-09-15T09:32:46.744-07:002009-09-15T09:32:46.744-07:00Hmmm.

We did have an orange toyota which came with a name -- the pumpkin car -- and N just told me this summer how disappointed she was when she saw that it was just a car and not a cinderella coach. Anyway -- that lake looks cold -- it wasn't? And I have never known much about trees either. Although I guess I'd recognise an acorn. (Also, how pretty!

Just so Littlest knows.<br /><br />And never mind making Lynj jealous (I seem to be following her round the comment boxes) how about making the rest of us jealous? I trust you were moved to poetry while you were there.<br /><br />At this point I should shamefacedly admit that though I amd a scientist and a gardener, I wouldn't recognise the trees either.

(I also visited Beatrix Potter's house. Is that, like, embarrassingly American-tourist-y? Sort of like when I took the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg?) Still, you're wounding me deeply, as it just so happens that I'm feeling a craving for a nice Lakeland hike followed by some caramel shortbread. Or maybe one of those Kendal mint cake thingies.<br /><br />I love Littlest's name choice for the purple conveyance, even if her sister doesn't. You can tell her I named my bicycle Charlotte. Oh, and I feel a deep kinship with your mother now. Bless all of us for attempting to give our children Meaningful Nature Experiences by the seats of our pants...Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932228002267520123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535294078685621239.post-61250011598951487472009-09-14T14:50:16.941-07:002009-09-14T14:50:16.941-07:00That looks just fab.
