A Wee Hike Along the Fell up to the Tarn, Aye

Hello from Glasgow! I know I hinted that you'd have heard more from me by now, but even though we have the laptop with us, we haven't been able to get online until today (and even then, we're at a library, using their computers). We're off to northern Scotland tomorrow, but so far I can report that England's Lake District is an amazing, idyllic place (very photogenic, you'll be happy to know ;-)) and our hosts Grahame and Jo treated us wonderfully, and took us around on boats, scenic drives, hikes, and, most importantly, like their coffee-and-sweet breaks even more than we do! We truly feel spoiled. As for Glasgow, we've only been here for seven hours, but so far we've seen lovely Glasgow cathedral and the oldest house in Glasgow--both pretty great . . . and as soon as I log off this computer, we're heading upstairs to check out some contemporary art. We're both having a bit of city-shock (where did all the sheep go?), but we'll be back in the countryside soon enough.
