This weekend my family and I went away for my aunt's 50th birthday. On the Friday we went down to the Lake District, went out for tea in a lovely restaurant (even though we did get a little bit lost). Saturday we went on a boat ride and had lunch in a little pub in one of the nearby towns, before going back to where we were staying to get ready to have tea in the on-site bar.
Then on the Sunday, instead of getting straight off and heading back home, we stopped off in a quaint town called Kirkby Lonsdale. It was such a picturesque place that I couldn't stop myself taking photos, especially of all the unique street names. We had lunch in a bakery, but unfortunately I was so besotted with all the wonderful cakes and buns that I forgot to take a photo for you all to see. We also went for a walk to Ruskin's View, which is named one of the nicest views in England, and I thankfully managed to get a picture of that just as the sun came out from behind a cloud.
This weekend has been lovely to spend with my family and not worry about having to get up for work or do any sort of revision/homework for college. I think it's nice to get away from where you live, even just for the weekend, and take the time to relax and then come back to everyday life with a clear head. Especially if the place you're staying has a Tom Jones tribute playing on the night, which, fortunately, ours did.
