I'm in the Lake District of England, staying in a country pub - The Derby Arms. That's my room at the top left. It looks out on to green, wooded hills and grazing sheep.

Bit of thunder, but no storms. Now I'm in Darlington.
@Petter a little less glamorous hope you don't end up exploring the dark side of Spennymoor
@ShadowAmicus No, although one day I would like to visit the Durham mining museum there.
Tonight I'm going to see a play in the old Georgian theatre in Richmond.
Tomorrow I shall be wandering around Durham city.
@Petter As you come south on the M1, the National Mining Museum is in Yorkshire and well worth a visit - underground tour etc

And in the fine tradition of English place names, the Derby Arms is nowhere near Derby.

There isn't even a horse-racing track nearby. 
I am very happy for you. I LOVE the Lake District and I am very lucky to live close-ish to it. I wish you a lovely time and I am sure you are having one.

I am indeed, thanks. Tomorrow night I'll be in Darlington. Over the weekend I'll be in Oakham. Then I'll be on Milton Keynes and visiting Bletchley and also the computer museum.
I feel a bit envious of you. I always wanted to see the lake district, from the pictures I have seen it looks gorgeous. Whey did you not take me with you?

Enjoy...the scenery in the Lake District is magnificent. The pub looks good, I bet the food’s great too.

Damned good chef. Had an excellent supper, but it cost me £100 for 4 people.
@Petter Thats about right, I go out every Tuesday with my friend and it’s usually about £25 each....including wine,
@Marionville Dining out in Mojacar is much cheaper. A comparable meal, including a bottle of decent wine, would cost around £65.
@Petter That is why so many Brits live on the Costas!
@Petter You’ve picked a good spell of weather to visit ...it’s predicted to be very hot today....maybe thunder later,
Enjoy being online again!
