Lake District


Like Scarborough, my university had organized another 'give it a go' session, this time a trip to Lake District. The Lake District, also known as 'The Lakes' comprises of 15 lakes and has some of the highest peaks in England including Scafell Pike and Helvellyn. The area is bestowed upon with natural beauty and is the home to one of the most prominent figures of English Literature: William Wordsworth (Daffodils)

Canterbury


My best friend has been in the UK for the past two years now and now that even I am here, I thought of visiting her for the weekend. She lives in Canterbury, in the district of Kent in south-east England. It is an English town which lies upon the river Stour mainly populated by students and the elderly. She lives in a lovely house with a cute loft, that I really envy!!

Scarborough


My university conducts something known as 'Give it a GO' sessions where you try something new. One such session was a day trip to Scarborough. Scarboough is a small English town by the sea, one of the oldest sea resorts in Britain. It was a lovely day, not sunny though unlike today. We reachead there around 10 am and headed straight towards the water. Too tempted looking at the water for the water-baby that I am, I could not resist but dip my feet in the icy cold water.
