I don't think the above spelling can be found in Wales but I'm honestly not sure.  Wales was amazing.  The spellings of words and towns are unreal.  I honestly thought they were just messing with me and making up words.  

Eggs

Really one of the oddest things I saw while in the UK....non refrigerated eggs.  

Chunky

Nothing sounds more appealing than the words "chunky" and "knits" together on a chilly rainy day 

The Lake District

These are pictures from Lake Windermere and the surround areas of Ambleside and Bowness.  Lovely lake that is largely untouched in terms of development.  Staunch contrast to the States.  

Onward to the Lake District

After The Mere we decided to head up to the Lake District.  The above picture shows what I think are some pretty cool things.  Oh you don't think so?  Well, I do. 

First you may notice the P in the back glass of that car.  That means that the driver just recently passed their driving test.  Pretty cool when I think about it.  For those that are learning, you will see a large L on their vehicles.  I think it's a pretty cool way to let those around know that a new driver is in the area.  

Secondly, the word queue is being used on the board.  Obviously, those of you that are Americans reading this(don't you love it when I assume people are actually reading this?) that are familiar with the Netflix-verse, know that queue means line but I find it cool how many times that word is used over here.  

Thirdly you can see the list of towns that are in vacinity. 

Oh and fourthly we are the left side of the road 

The Mere Driving Range

Here is a truly a one of a kind site.  It's a driving range at The Mere.  The boxes are just over the boxed hedges and the landing area is in the lake.  The Golf Concierge, yes, Golf Concierge said that he knew there was one like this in Florida too.  

As for The Mere itself....really cool spot about 30 minutes outside of Manchester. Looked like a great golf course.  Had a massage there in the spa.  

Rapid Blogging

Ok so I'm going try and post some quick blogs from the last few days.  They will come right after the other.  Feel free to hit "refresh" and I'm sure another top-quality web log post will be in front of you.   Someone should have thought of this idea a long time ago.  These will be somewhat like microblog posts.  Maybe I should invent a service that would allow people to microblog and call it Flicer.  And whenever someone sent a Flice it would be like they were Fleecing.  Any takers?
