pencils

i got a bit ahead of myself i'm afraid, so this is still in the lake district, before scotland.

our charming hotel in bowness.

and this is one of the happiest places on earth : the cumberland pencil museum. this is where derwent pencils (the pride and joy of any normal schoolkid) are/were made.

the biggest pencil in world. seriously, there's a guinness certificate and all.

it's in a town called keswick if you're at all interested.
