A UK BASED FAMILY & LIFESTYLE BLOG

As I'm sat typing this, the rain is pouring down outside. I have the window open, so I can hear it hitting the ground. It's August, and so it's summer, but I don't mind - I love the rain. There's thunder too and I'm really hoping it doesn't wake Ethan from his nap. Otherwise this post could well end up being cut rather short. - Mummy duties and all!

So what's the relevance of the weather to where I'd like to live if I could? Well, that would be because the rain reminds me of my special place, the one place I'd choose to live given a lottery win or something similar.

See, if I could live anywhere I'd live.. In the Lake District!

Here are a few bullet points as to why:

- It is absolutely stunning!
- It rains. A lot! Which I like!
- It's peaceful, so peaceful!
- I feel like I learn more about myself whenever I am there.
- I always feel more inspired when I'm standing in the Lake District staring at one of the waterfalls.
- Photograph backdrops would at all times be 100% - sorted!
- There are random sheep everywhere!
- The Lake District caters EXTREMELY well for vegetarians!
- There are so many places to visit! Literally, SO MANY!
- Everyday could be a day for exploring!
- Adam and I had our honeymoon there and it was also the same place that Ethan had his first holiday!

There are so many reasons why I love the Lake District. But for now I will leave you with a few photographs of mine from the beautiful place itself..
