After the rush of the wedding and preparations for Thomas to go to America on business, we decided to take some time out and go walking one weekend not so long ago. So we headed off to Buttermere, down all the windey roads and through all the Cumbrian hills

The colours of autumn had seeped into everything

when we finally got into Buttermere we decided upon our route and set off with Millie up the hills. Within the first five minutes Millie had lost her Frisbee in the river which involved a bit of fishing on Thomas’s part and a very damp dog on her part. After its recovery we set off and went on up the hills, Thomas taking the lead.

He really stood out in his yellow jacket, and despite his decent pace up the hill neither of us could quite keep up with Millie's hill climbing skills.

We kept going until the driving rain (which just seemed to stick at the 45 degree angle for a good 2 hours or so) and the slowly lowering cloud got the better of us and we decided to find somewhere for lunch, when we stumbled upon this wonderful waterfall. The perfect picnic site as you can see it kept me pretty happy for a bit.

a nice cup of very hot tea and a rather random mix of sandwiches, and bounty bar to finish off with! Really keeps girl happy when walking on the hills.

With lunch over it was back down the hills and over some rather interesting bridges…

It somehow managed to remind me of a few bridges in Pakistan and their delicate state!

But none the less we had a fantastic time walking around about Buttermere, and i can’t wait for our next trip out and about Cumbria,

so till then all our love x
