   • Me and the lady wench are going for 4 nights next weekend, staying in Windermere. Any recommendations as to stuff to do/places to eat drink around abouts?
     
     So far I'm fucking psyched about going to the Beatrix Potter Museum!!!

   • Nowhere in particular to recommend but pretty much every pub is lovely. I did go to a particularly nice one a few miles outside Windermere but couldn't tell you what it was called.

   • Yeah the Beatrix Potter museum is pretty great, the kids loved it..... and so did I. Boat trip on Windermere was good too.
     There's a great Thai (name escapes me) which is on the first floor above another restaurant. Loads of top pubs. Traffic getting to and from the Lakes from the M6 was a bit of a nightmare; allow plenty of time.

     I heard Beatrix Potter actually hated kids and liked to be spit roasted by enormously well hung black guys!!! Picture that next time you read one of her books.

     I won't read another of her books but I am happy to picture that. Especially as she looks just like Bridget Jones in the imagining.

      my dad was once hit in the face with a barometer during a fight. He has a trace amount of mercury and a shard of glass still trapped under his lower lip which is one of the reasons he wears a beard. true story.

    • I'm just back from the Lake District. I saw FOUR octopuses at Maryport Aquarium. I think that beats the pencil museum, although I did consider going there.

      Are there many ocopuses (octopi?) in the pencil museum?
