Another wet but nice walk close to Coniston yesterday. We met some noisy cows and found a lot of droppings up the mountain. Climbing cows it seems...I looked them up on Google and found out that they are called "Belted Galloway" and originally comes from South Scotland and is an ancient breed of cows, mainly kept for the meat (marbled sirloin) but can also be milked.
We lost our way a bit on the top due to the mist, but found it eventually and managed to get back home before dark!
Raining and snowing in the Lakes. We went for a walk in the Grizedale Fores instead of walking up a mountain! A forestry walk with wooden sculptures on the way. Hugo could not resist making a "Leonardo da Vinci" in this one!
We are in the Lakes (England) for midterm and went for a snowy walk up the mountain from Coniston. We are staying in a very nice semidetached house in Coniston together with lots of friends, altogether there is sixteen of us....tonight we are having dinner in the local pub and tomorrow I will be cooking. See you tomorrow!
This Saturday we went for a birthday walk with our friends Debs and Andrew to celebrate her big day! We parked by the Boat Inn on the river Wye and walked to the village of Newland, went into the fantastic Forest Cathedral and had a lovely lunch at The Ostrich Inn, a freehouse that dates back to the 15th centuary! From there only a 20 min walk back to the car. What a perfect day!
I went into London yesterday and look what I found, lovely flowers (Paddington Station) for Valentines Days and nice jewelry from Folli Follie on Regent Street.
A girl can never have to many shoes, just look at this lovely window at Kurt Geiger, Regent Street, and the shoes are to die for! Latest spring trends with platforms and lots of colour. Mix it girls!
Rock chic...more my personal style. I love it....here from Guess, Regent Street.
Preppy and sporty look at Hilfiger. 
Bride to be 29 April, Kate Middleton is said to be wanting serving Snog yogurt ice cream at her royal wedding party. Lovely shop in Soho....
New hotel in Leicester Square, "W", so new it opens on Monday (Valentines Day) and I was not let in....chic boutique hotel on 10 Wardour Street with exclusive bars and restaurant och unusual service....watch this space I will be back for more about "W"
I went to the Royal Academy of Art to look at Tom Dixons new interiors there in the restaurant and bar. Sophisticated and arty in black and red, I like it!
While I was there I took the opportunity to visit the ongoing exhibition, Modern British Sculpture, good, interesting and a very manageable exhibition....with Henry Moore, Damien Hirst etc. Well worth a visit! Until 7 April. (Piccadilly).
