Hello there! My parents (early 50s) and I will be traveling to LD in September. We will be arriving to Keswick by train and bus.

We do have a full day and half before we leave for Edinburgh (by bus and train again via Penrith) so I was wondering if it’s even feasible to do this trip entirely via bus.

I have studied the stagecoach map a fair bit and we are interested in mainly 2 things.

1. Visiting Buttermere and Honister Pass (either via 78 or 77 bus)

2. Taking the trip down south to Grasmere, Ambleside, Windermere (maybe via 599 but wouldn’t mind the 555 since I do have to take it to get down south till at least Grasmere)

I’m not sure if this is too rushed of an itinerary? We are mostly very much interested in scenic views, nature without having to hike/walk too much (for my parents)

Any sorta insight would be of great help, thanks!

Hello!

This is a follow up my previous post asking regarding my (apparently super hectic 🥲) itinerary. I have made a good amount of changes to my itinerary to avoid too much driving, spending more time in European cities and also flying between Edinburgh to Amsterdam. Please let me know if this would be feasible!

To reiterate, this will be our first Europe trip ever and I’m visiting my parents who are in their mid 50s. I do have an event to attend in Harper Adam’s Universirty and my parents are tagging along. We are from Asia so costs do hike up due to conversion so we are trying to keep the trip comfortable but not too pricey.

7-10: London, sightseeing and recovering from jetlag
10-14: HAU
15: train to Liverpool from Stafford at night, overnight in Liverpool
16: Liverpool (Anfield stadium, relaxed pier walks) then evening rent a car and leave for Keswick
17: tour Lake District whole day, overnight in Keswick
18: drive up to Edinburgh, return car once arrived (one way rental)
19: Edinburgh
20: Edinburgh
21: early morning flight to Amsterdam
22: Amsterdam full day
23: morning bus to Brussels
24: Brussels full day
25: morning bus to Paris
26: Paris
27: Paris
28: train back to London
29: London
30: flight back

please drop your BEST lemon yoghurt cake recipe, I like a nice lemon flavour without an overly sweetness to accompany it. I’ve been contemplating between Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa), Joy of Baking and RecipeTin eats. Any recommendations?

I love lemon cake but I’ve never made lemon yoghurt cake before so I’ve been wanting to try my hand at them.

I love lemon cake but I’ve never made lemon poppyseed cake or lemon yoghurt cake before so I’ve been wanting to try my hand at them.

I do however was thinking if I could just add poppyseeds into the lemon yoghurt cake recipe? I’ve heard that it’s an inert ingredient and shouldn’t affect the cake even if it wasn’t in the recipe. Is this true?
