Although we only moved to the Lake District 7 years ago, my husband and I have quickly become involved in the life of our local community and have been totally beguiled by this beautiful place. I am never happier than when out of doors, walking or running, especially if accompanied by my dogs. My interest in the natural environment and local history are well rewarded in the area and I currently work at Brantwood House on Coniston Water
