Such hard work...

This week we had to go to Glasgow, Scotland for a few work meetings...
But it wasn't all work and no play!!

On the way during our 6 hour journey we stopped off at the Lake District.
This is probably the most beautiful part of England!


We love the Lakes so much,
In fact David keeps trying to persuade me we should move out there.
If it wasn't for the steep roads I would seriously consider it.


We have visited the Lake District more times than I can remember,
Yet every time we go I am amazed to find something new...
A new place to explore...
A new mountain to climb...
A new waterfall to enjoy...


If you have to make a long journey there is nothing better than enjoying a rest stop here...


This also gave us the perfect setting to get a nice couples portrait!


Thankfully there was a nice big rock I could rest my beautiful camera on to take this...
Though as this was in the stream it was a little nerve wrecking!

It was a good little trek to get to the waterfall but worth it...
I was able to snap this little gem on the way!


Which I can't wait to get printed on metalic photo paper!!
(It's going to look amazing!)

Ok so we then continued our journey to Scotland...
When we got there we were greeted by a angry looking sky...


Though it wasn't all doom and gloom..
Paisley is incredibly beautiful....


This is the view from the Motorway!
Certainly not a boring drive!!

And to add to the fun of the journey once you get toward Glasgow...
The airport is so close to the city and motorway that you can practically reach out and touch the airplanes!


We stayed at
Which had amazing views...


One of the evenings after a busy day of meetings...
we enjoyed a evening meal....
followed by a film....


(the cinema in sceneic suroundings - moments after we went into the cinema it poured with seriously heavy rain, completely out of the blue!)

And then we went back to the hotel and indulged...
In the Steam Room...
and the Sauna....
and the Swimming Pool...
Before taking a walk on the Golf Course...


Where as you can see we enjoyed...
A Hot Chocolate...
With Marshmallows...
And Oreos!!!


And enjoyed more amazing scenes...


It was such a lovely treat!
Even though we were there for work it was wonderful to have a few memory making moments together!
We have to say a big Thank you to the fabulous families who looked after our little angels..
Making it possible for us to not just do our work...
But also spend some time together!
THANK YOU!!!!!

On the way home we encountered the Appleby Fair...
Which was basically ALOT of traveller caravans making their way home after the fair...
Down a very main road...
In horse drawn caravans!!


There were queues several miles long behind this carraige!
Thankfully we didn't encounter any on our side of the road!!!!

Although I HATE travelling long distances 
(Anyone who has travelled with me short distances knows I am a rubbish passenger!)
I really enjoyed this trip.
I can't wait to make more fabulous memories with my sweetheart in the weeks, months and years to come!

There is no one I would rather experience the world with than you David!!!
