Feeling exhausted and drained after the excitement of LFW and then LFW'end, I had to get away. We were supposed to go snowboarding at our favorite resort in Austria, but thanks to global warming there was no snow. And I was so tired that the thought of facing Heathrow airport made me break out in a cold sweat.
So the man and I jumped in the car and off to the Lakes District for a couple of nights. We stayed in a beautiful restaurant with rooms (they stress that it is not a hotel) L'enclume and dined in the Michelin starred restaurant. The menu was amazing in it's creativity. Foie Gras ice cream anyone? Oh yummy it was fantastic!
I believe that when you're away the rooms should be better than what you have at home. Now with our amazing bed and lovely decore, it's pretty hard to beat. But the rooms at L'enclume were amazing too. When holidaying in the UK I am repeatedly let down by the high prices of rooms that are so terribly you can't wait to get home again. We had our own large room with a private adjoining sitting room. The best thing about it was there was no mobile or Blackberry reception! After the initial panic it was bliss!
We walked off our meal by hiking around Lake Windermere. It is truly stunning with the lakes, greenery and snow capped mountains. But the best thing is that now I've returned to London invigorated and ready to face the rest of the year.
