After having breakfast in Redditch (a small town south of Birmingham), we hit the road. We took our time along the way, stopping for about an hour to grab lunch. The entire drive took almost four hours, and we finally arrived at Lake Windermere in Bowness in the afternoon. We spent about two and a half hours here. The breeze by the lake was refreshing and cool—a complete contrast to the humid heat of Singapore. The lake was vast, and we could see flocks of majestic swans gliding across the water. After strolling along the shore for a bit, we walked out onto the wooden pier. Taking in the distant views of the sparkling lake and surrounding mountains really helped us slow down and unwind. As an art teacher, I've always had a passion for illustration, so I made a special trip to "The World of Beatrix Potter" nestled deep in the town. The attraction features many original picture book manuscripts and 3D scene recreations. The classic colors and linework really bring back a sense of childlike wonder. This area was also home to William Wordsworth and other "Lake Poets" in the early 19th century. Much of their Romantic literature was inspired by the natural beauty here. Exploring it firsthand makes it easy to see why this landscape sparked so much artistic inspiration. In the evening, we grabbed dinner at a cozy little restaurant on the street, soaking in the local vibe. Lake Windermere boasts a wonderful blend of natural beauty and cultural charm. I'd definitely love to come back again.

Last week, my car got a chip in it, followed by a lovely crack, which made my car undrivable for a few days, while we waited for it to get fixed. All this being said, I had to travel to Redditsh and had to leave my car behind. I took the train and things actually went quite smoothly. I'd never been to Redditch before, but it was a surprisingly nice place, and I loved the view over the bridge as I left the train station. #train #station #Ridditch
