And on the web, there’s a very interesting new blog by local writer, Janine John, at lakedistrictgems.com. Janine has written some very enthusiastic reviews and articles about her favourite places in the Lakes, including a detailed post about her two previous visits to our Garden Trail, entitled ‘A Spring Bank Holiday Treat’. Thanks, Janine!
