General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

jathbee: I was in Keswick last year, I felt, as in most of the Lake District now, that the place had declined somewhat. I remember being there years ago over a Christmas week, it was freezing, but it was almost magical.
Kendal is another place, but walking in the surrounds of Kendal, the two castles, the river, is quite nice.
Keswick has a superb bookshop.
