Thirty years ago in the Lake District

Thirty years ago in the Lake District, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

This is me with a Herdwicke ram, behind me is a beautiful old house, built of local stone, probably from the quarry in Shap.

The people in the background are friends of my host, Aunty Wendy. I had never met them before adn have never met them since. However, I did get a very nice letter from the girl on the left of this photo, a week or so later :)

I was 18, had finished school and was taking a 'gap' year before starting university.
