SS2 71 Janey notices the bruises!

Hi all,
I've caught up with the mails so now I can start catching up on all the luvly updates I've missed!
Our holiday in the Lake district was great! As our map-reading skills are pretty lame I bought a Sat-Nav before we went and I must say I've fallen in love with it!!, It meant that when we finally reached our destination we were amazingly STILL talking to each other!lol We stayed in a lovely little cottage that used to be owned by Beatrix Potter and it was miles from anywhere! It took us over an hour of driving up and down hills to get to the nearest shops!! In the middle of the week we decided to take a short cut across Hardknott Pass (even though we had been warned not to!) which has a gradient of 30%, and halfway down the other side we could smell burning, so we stopped on a flat bit and got out, and there was smoke pouring out of the front wheels through my constant braking!! I was so scared cos the phones wouldn't work either! but luckily when the wheels were cool we managed to carry on.
The views were lovely though. I climbed the mountain infront of our place one day just to see what was on the other side, and it was so lovely being up there on the top. Not another soul to be seen for miles and a quietness that you only ever get when you are up that high.
Apologies btw for the lack of updates on the voting pages!! I'll have to sort something out!!

See you next week, Sky :)
