Thank you [personal profile] sperrywink for the Halloween and super cute lobster magnet ♥

Guardian of the Galaxy 2 trailer. I'm looking forward to seeing that so much.

It looks like Mikey and Kristin may be expecting a baby girl. That's such lovely news for them.

Recently I've been reading Kelley Armstrong's Cainsville series. I just finished book three last night, and while I'm enjoying the series loads, part of the story is the main character torn between two men, and all I can think of is, surely a threesome is the answer? I've one book to go, maybe it will go that way. I'd like to think so.

We had a very nice time at the Lake District. We were lucky enough to get a garden room, which mean our room had a door that opened straight onto a tiny area with a metal table and chairs for our use, then straight onto the hotel gardens. It was so lovely, especially so when I woke the next day and could have the door wide open, listening to the rain as I drank my coffee and woke up.

While there I could move from puree onto soft food, so could eat some of the breakfast that came as part of the deal. I only managed a veggie sausage, half a slice of toast, a spoonful of beans and half an egg, but man, they tasted good. And I was so full afterwards, enough I didn't even attempt to eat until late afternoon.

The first day we went we went to Grasmere, mainly because James wanted some gingerbread. You get it from this tiny shop you have to queue to get into, and all they sell is gingerbread or gingerbread flavoured things. James came out with a bag full and has been happily eating it ever since.

The next day, after checking out of the hotel, we went for our cruise on lake Windermere. We started outside, and stayed there for a while as the scenery was stunning. But while I was fine dealing with the cold, when it started to rain heavily it was too much, so we spent the rest of the time inside.

We visited an aquarium that day, but mostly it was all about the beautiful scenery and enjoying the views while sheltering from the rain.

Some photos, all of which were shared on Instagram by me or James, so apologies to those who've already seen them.

wonderful photos! that little breakfast area overlooking the gardens is lovely - what a treat to be able to sit and enjoy the scenery

I'm with James - gingerbread is fantabulous, and now I want some (do you think he'd share?) *g*

That sounds (and looks!) like a lovely little holiday! The trees are so pretty.

Yay actual food! It's all uphill from here!

Going somewhere to get gingerbread makes complete sense to me. Hmm, I could make some gingerbread. Om nom nom.

It sounds and looks like you'd a lovely trip despite the rain. And I'm so envious of your bedroom with access to the garden!

Also, gingerbread is love! And HOORAY! for no more purees ever!
