Hello grapesodatravels, Nice to hear from you. Fina and I went to Ambleside and you will be able to see that in our next video. Best wishes, Fina and Tim
Good evening Fina and Tim it's such a beautiful area we loved the atmosphere of the towns they are so relaxed. There are some great places to sit relax and enjoy the views. We agree that the stone does look beautiful on the buildings. Hope you are both well and having a great week Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
@@inbetween-days hello Dave and Dawn, we walked down from Windermere to Bowness; I think the latter place is more vibrant. Perhaps that is because it is right by the lake. It was nice too think about the possible locations of “Swallows and Amazons.“
@@theadventuresoffinaandtim Agreed - it must have been very relaxing. Tim, I often think of "Swallows and Amazons" and "Lord of the Flies" in the same breath. Although they both involve a cast consisting largely of children surrounded by water, overall... what a contrast! The latter is so dark and depressing; very much the antithesis of the former.
Yes, Phil, those two books are completely different in tone. I think “Lord of the flies” was written, partly, as a riposte to the idyllic scenes in books such as Swallows and Amazons and “the Coral Island.”
We love the Lake District too! Ambleside and Keswick are, perhaps, our favourite towns.
Thanks for sharing N&Nx

@@theadventuresoffinaandtim Yes, Tim: from what I understand, you're quite correct!
I would have went with 'Lake Windermere fans?' as the title.
Why didn’t I think of that? That is creative thinking.
