The idea of a group of unsupervised children being allowed to mess about on boats for days at a time seems somewhat funny now though!<br /><br />Glad you like the stories. You should certainly visit the Lake District if you are ever in these parts. They are one of the most beautiful parts of England.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050098322558700410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044342873919250442.post-84215366107370868742013-04-30T23:21:23.730+00:002013-04-30T23:21:23.730+00:00Have you ever read the Swallows and Amazons books ...Have you ever read the Swallows and Amazons books by Arthur Ransome? They are set in the 1930s in the Lake District and follow the adventures of some children who are allowed free rein to explore the lake where they spend the summers. We're reading the series aloud at our house, and everyone likes the stories. It makes us want to visit there!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110475906348538090noreply@blogger.com
