our holiday in bulletpoints!

• we went a day late due to the boyf having food poisoning
• we had a cabin at 15 Lake Beck and our back door opened into the forest
• it was at Winfell forest nr. Penrith
• Starbucks rocks
• we had a great photoshoot and the photos will be available soon!
• i packed WAY too many clothes. we needed half! (tho the weather was unpredictable so thats my excuse and im sticking to it!)
• the boyf is better at archery than me! i got a bullseye on my first shot and got progressively worse!
• i spent over £100 on clothes in Spirit in the centre
• the boyf bought me a union jack doggy doorstop (i already have a house full of them!)
• we took too much food
• my spa session was amaze-balls! i had a mud-wrap flotation thingy, which meant she scrubbed me down, covered me in mud, wrapped me in foil, dropped me into a floatation tank and gave me a head massage! 
• i got told off in the spa. apparently to go into the actual communal spa area you have to book the day. this is not what it tells you online!
• i bumped into one of the women that owns the hairdressers i frequent! she was there with her family and sister and her family! freaky!
• we went on a 'hawk walk' with Bob the harris hawk, theyre not native to this country and he was a 'teen' (very unruly, quite ignorant) that was a real highlight of the holiday
• the boyf, ive learned, does not like any activities, ever, unless you force him to do them and he ends up having fun. 
• i had a trike. ive not been on a bike since before i was a teen and came off in an accident. and even then it had taken dad YEARS to teach me to ridet. he had a blast this time round! the only drawback was that that trike weighed a tonne and when i had to go up hills... fail....!
• the boyf is a fish. he should have flippers and gills.
• he taught me to swim on my back!
• i went down my first ever waterslide! and then went on it again straight away!
• i also went on a really big flume-slide, which, tho i banged my elbow pretty badly, ROCKED! youre gonna have a problem keeping me off them!
• the rapids were glorious, had so much fun on them!
• the boyf wants to keep up with the swimming now we're back!
• Hucks diner sucked. tho they were very accomodating with my gluten and dairy intolerances
• after we left CP we went to Penrith for a few hours, then to a castle just outside
• on the drive home we pulled off at Kendal cos the weather was monsoon style torrential and the car kept floating due to it being a sudden downpour.
• in Kendal we popped in to see Kristiana at her new job! she was homesick that day, but it was really good to see her!
• i bought many many things. besides the clothes, i got 2 cushions for the lounge, some presents, some hanging things, some GF and DF choc coated biscuits that ive already been thru two packs of...
• i beat the boyf at scrabble by over 100 points
• we never watched the box sets i took
• there was a channel on the tv just set up for a badger-cam, watching a sett, on the night before we left, we finally saw a badger!
• Winfell forest is a conservation area for the red squirrel, which the grey squirrels kill with diseases and such. so its a really important place, we saw many! i was so pleased! we also saw pheasants, other game birds, and lots and lots and lots of birds, a few bunnies and random bugs :)
