Of course you will be amazed the enormous selection of frames, with single vision lens, sun sensor (potochromic) lens, tinted suglasses lens, and many other types of lens. The great thing about Zenni’s low low prices is that they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, enabling fabulously low prices for you. So don’t hang around but check them out right now!

Back at work

Today was my first day back at work after my two week holiday. It was a hard graft getting back into the swing of things, I don't mind telling you, dear reader. But, I applied myself, got some pressing chores done and altogether had an okay day. So, mustn't grumble and all that. We'll have another holiday at some point. Surely?

A stay in the Lake District

On my way back from a Christmas celebration up in Scotland last year I spent some time in the truly amazing Lake District in the North of England. This area is incredibly beautiful with its stunning mountains or fells, its dreamy lakes and rugged hills and green fields. It really is an outdoor paradise and you cannot choose a better area to visit if you are into hill walking or climbing. At the time I was extremely impressed with how the landscape at once seemed rugged and wild but also lovely and gentle with its green meadows with rocks and boulders strewn around as if by some friendly giant’s scattering hand. I simply loved it, I can assure you.

I stayed in Kendall near Lake Windermere and was impressed with the immediate area. If I were to visit the Lake District again I might be tempted to stay at the Lake District Hotel, which is located near Derwent Water, another of the famous lakes. When you walk around the area you can see how it inspired the great Romantic painters and nature poets such as William Wordsworth. It really is an amazingly beautiful landscape and I would recommend a visit or a holiday in the Lake District to anyone. I think I would like to return and enjoy an extended walking holiday. It is a great place to get out into the open air and revive all of your senses at once. Fabulous!

Cheesy

Last week I spent a few days in Holland and I have to say that I really enjoyed myself. For one thing I enjoyed being able to eat some excellent Gouda cheese. That is a particular delight that is hard to come by in England. It is not easy to get my hands on mature Gouda here, which is a bit of a shame as I love that creamy Dutch dairy product. Yum!

So much for global warming

They keep promising this global warming but once again it looks as though this British summer is shaping up to be a complete lemon. We are well in to July and the temperatures are decidedly autumnal and the rain bountiful and omnipresent. Who wrote this script? Last year, the summer months were a right dud and this one isn't looking that great either. How about it, Gore?

Back from Holland

Spent a few days visiting friends and family in Holland where,while I was there, summer had made itself felt with a vengeance. At one point I was sitting with a friend by a pleasant lake, surrounded by cafes, having a drink and taking it very, very easy indeed. It was good to catch up and indulge in some of the Dutch delicacies I have to do without in England. Ah...that Gouda cheese..
