I'm off on holiday with the family for a week from tomorrow. We're not off anywhere very exciting (Center Parcs near Penrith) but it should be fun for all.

Hope you have a great time Potia.
I once spent a week there collecting hair samples from red squirrels - nothing horrible just using sticky tape on tubes and feeders. Turns out the Lake District population of red squirrels is descended from true British Reds and Red Squirrels brought from Scandinavia in Victorian times to boost ailing populations in the grounds of large country houses.
It's a great place to watch Reds close at hand if you get up early and take some peanuts!

A good time was had by all and I'm now back. We didn't visit Castlerigg - maybe another time.
We did see red squirrels though and very nice it was to see them about. We also saw lots of duckings which was lovely for Rose in particular.
