The Museum of Lakeland life in Kendal is a wonderful place containing a rather eclectic collection of items to do with everyday life in Lakeland. It includes a replica mine and a reconstruction of the rooms of a Lakeland house and shops plus a exhibition on the children’s character ‘Postman Pat’ which was written in Kendal.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
