Just got back from a wonderful outdoor performance of 'As you like it' on the shores of Lake Windermere. The weather was a bit gloomy and rainy before we left and all the way driving there. But within minutes of arriving, the rain stopped and we were treated to a dazzling sunset over the lake as the clouds cleared.
The Shakespeare production was sharp and tight, with a very sparse set design that actually worked well. Cast of eight doubled up in a number of roles and had to do some very quick costume changes, including one very well orchestrated change on stage.
All the actors sang fantastically and played a variety of instruments.
So, throw that entertainment within with a stunning location in the Lakes District, and it makes for a very enjoyable night.
Had a drive through the peninsula at the bottom of the lakes today and encountered all sorts of wildlife.
This is right near an ancient village site that had very overgrown hut circle remains (not in this piccie). Also located a burial chamber nearby, and a stone circle not far away from the previous photo.
Heading to a hostel for tomorrow night, right on the lake. After that, I think two nights maybe in the York region?
