Lovely retreat for you Jen. The Lakes is definitely one of your happy places. Coniston is so special for our wider family Christmas gathering. Remembering also the L plates blowing of in the wind: Nana and the herd of sheep. And the pub where I bought you your first wine 🤪 So glad that you’re here again making some more memories. You’re such an inspiration. So proud of you as always xx
Beautiful video, thanks Jennifer 🍁🍂 Don't ever apologise for being a rambling rambler. It made me giggle when you referred to it. (The way my mind works 😂) Finally got around to finding out about the dog house - "Monk Coniston Kennel - Locally referred to as ‘The Dog House’, this National Trust owned dog kennel built in the Gothic style was used for the Monk Coniston estate’s fox hounds." It is a beautiful stretch - you must be hefted to it 😉 Unleased dogs near icy lakes fill me with fear. They can fall through and drown under the ice. Just realised that perhaps the ridge on the top of their skulls is so they can break through from underneath 🤔 😮love the sound of pebbles on the ice - I wonder why I've never heard it before. The Crafty Baa looks lovely
Aw thank you! And that’s so cool, it’s an interesting place, I know some people use it as a little wild camping spot sometimes when on the Cumbria Way, which is pretty cool. Not sure if I would but I’ve considered it in previous videos. And yeah the dog off the lead by the ice freaked me out too! Especially when there were signs around the lake telling dog owners to keep them away from the ice! 😰 You should totally check out the Crafty Baa if you’re ever in Windermere! Such an awesome vibe, if quite odd 😂 they do incredible nachos, too 😁
Excellent video. Hadn't stayed in Holly How for a number of years and went back at the beginning of June, I had forgotten how beautiful it was in that area and how much there is to explore. The woods behind the hostel are stunning and take you to Tilberthwaite which again is beautiful, and quite peaceful, from there you can go over to Elterwater.
That’s awesome! Yeah like I mentioned, I stayed there over Christmas in 2015, it was lovely. You’re lucky that was your job! Such a stunning location. And thank you so much!
Winter is the best time to hike the fells, there are very few people around during the winter and the fells are normally covered in snow, that's when you'll find me there.
I would love to go on a wee writer's retreat somewhere. It's just trying to find the time and money to do so. This is part of the reason why I want to work for myself.
@@Orenjen I hope that you find somewhere. I'm nearly finished the second book in my fantasy trilogy, and I'm going to be publishing it soon. I then need to kick the third book into shape.
@@AScottishOdyssey that sounds awesome! Well done on getting over halfway through a trilogy, that’s some achievement. I hope you get to go on your retreat soon 😁
That was great. Thank you so much. Wunderful atmospheric pictures.Impressive landscapes and views.😄😘😄
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos make me Happy 💚💚💚
I’m so glad, that’s so lovely! Thank you for the kind words ♥️

Really look the spooky ambiance, perfect to get us excited for some winter hiking!
Thank you! ♥️
Of Course!

It’s so lovely there, and I haven’t been to Tilberthwaite yet! I’ll definitely check it out next time I’m there 😁
Aww I used to run the coppermines hostel a few years ago, had such a good time. Good luck with the short stories.

It’s stunning in the winter, totally different vibe than you’d get in the summer ☺️
Hey!! What a great walk!! I did it last year and stayed in the shipinn, really good weekend! Love your vids! keep at it! 👍
That sounds awesome, and thank you so much!♥️

That’s so weird you said that because I’m looking at places to get away to in the winter for a writing retreat right now!! 😱
